I am worried for your robot, those tracks look very small. FIRST robots are not usually the most precise driving robots. I saw many failed attempts with teams trying to drive up ramps that only had 1-2" slots in the middle of them... just for the safety of your bot I would not want to drive up those ramps. FIRST bots like to drive on angles and in arch's, and not in strait lines which will make it difficult to get up those ramps in 15 seconds or so...
