Re: Bottoming out on ramps?

This is the number one reason I think ramps are a bad idea. There will be plenty of teams who won't or can't climb a ramp. Its a great thing for most alliances but this really is something you have to design around. I feel that if you are going to come up with a way to lift robots: than it should be universally compatable for as close to everyone as you can, not the other way around. Aside from that, 2" or 15 degress seems rather popular.
