Re: Bottoming out on ramps?

Last year's ramp was at 30 degrees, and covered with diamond plate (one of the worst traction surfaces for most robot wheels). Still, most teams could make it up.

This year, I've not heard of a ramp that is more than 30 degrees, and I'm sure that ramp bots will use something a little more tacky for the driving surface. So I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Plus, if you drive fast enough, you WILL get up anything
