We shipped the bearing blocks with the robot because we never got around to putting them on. The robot has had a max of 45 mins. total driving time as of ship, so we haven't put too much stress on them, thankfully.

The ramps worked out nicely after we went through a few iterations of our original design. They are strong and have good traction, but were a little heavier than we'd hoped. Thanks for the comments!
