I would also disagree with this. Our platform will not hold a robot with bumpers, BUT with the removal of one, it becomes very easy.

Also, after talking with Andy for a short time today, I think we have come to the conclusion that most teams going up ramps need to slow down a bit and just take it easy.

We have been giving teams 30-40 seconds, and it seems not worth it at this point. We cut our guardrail down as low as possible for low bumpered robots. We give them tips on driving up. What more does it take? Any thing to add to this Andy? Even some experienced driveteams are having trouble with this...with a low approach angle fo 14 degrees, we did not think this would be a problem....
