Re: Ramp Materials

We're using a carbon fiber / foam sandwich that we made ourselves. Each 40" x 38" panel weighs around 4-5 lbs. We then have an aluminum kickstand and track that sits underneath the ramp with a FP/BaneBot winch to raise the kickstand. With the motor/winch/kickstand and ramp it comes to 10 lbs per ramp.
