I'll try to post a picture if I find one, but this great design helped them beat us in the finals round and win the New York regional. Definitely a great design, especially for a first-year team.
I second a vote for 2274. Their ramp was amazing, and the "mouse" worked really well. Their ramp sat enough above the 12" mark, that it wasn't ever a close call either.
