Re: Bottoming out on ramps?

Our bot completely folds up to 13" tall 26" wide and 37" long arm and all enclosed.

With the smaller wheels this year most teams I suspect will have a lower ground clearence. I was playing around on a white board with scale drawings to see the best kind of angle our ramp should be. As it is right now our own bot (with a ground clearence of 2 3/8" cannot even make it up our own ramp that I have drawn up for inventor with-out high centering on the corner..

Our deadline for a working chassis with arm is to be finished tomorrow, all our programming was getting finished up last night. So I need a general average of ground clearence so I can design our to accomidate the average team. (That, or I hope a lot of teams have 6wd/treads )
