We loved your ramp. Bad luck that we both made elimination rounds in Detroit and Western Michigan and then got knocked out. You guys better kick some butt in Atlanta - especially since you borrowed one of our mentors for the trip!!!!

Massive - I like that . Much better than "wide load". The wide wheel base with the tank drive gave us a ton of stability when folks tried to push us, and allowed easier tank-drive turning so that we were more accurate in autonomous.

Anyway, I have to give credit to teams 27 and 469 for great.... platforms. Calling them ramps just don't do them justice.

Team 71 has remarkable ramps when you include their scoring ability - we were able to fit up them, and they have one on each side of their robot.
