Re: Why do my best robot design ideas always come when the season is almost over?

Now that the regular season is over, and I never saw anything like this implemented, maybe someone wants to run with it for the offseason?

It would be legal under costing, and COTS, and weight, but size may be an issue (width mostly - nothing a sawz-all couldn't take care of though..

But would any team actually buy one of these and bolt it on?

Yeah... that KISS principle is in full effect with this one.
I actually used to have one of those ramps when I was younger, the one pictured above. However, the downside would be the grade of the ramp, somewhere near 30 deg (at 12 high) right? How wide are they and tall? Couldn't be +12 inches high I don't think.
