Re: A question for ramp bots

I was having the same idea a few days ago, build a robot that is 37.5 by 12 inches, but 6 feet tall, and have the wheels on the 6 foot long side, then start at the begining by using a pneumatic piston to push yourself over, and another one as suspension to break your fall, then you've got 37.5 by 6 feet of space to work with. Kinda late in the season for new ideas, but hey, could be interesting.
