That just it. Complexity has been our biggest problem in the past. So, This year, we ditched the ramp, built a relieable drivetrain that could climb, and focused on a simple arm that we rebuilt and modified from '05. We are always amazed at how the simpliest plywood bots seem to past our expectations.
