Re: Scorpion... LOL! That's what one of our team members said it looked like too! I have a feeling that is what it will be called.

Re: COG... while it did "pop" back a bit, it's actually quite stable.. there's plenty of weight in the bottom (the last weigh-in was 91 lbs), but there's still more to add, including the "skin", some more wiring, and we've already added more strength to the drive sections (all custom built, btw).

Re: ramping... we do have a ramping algorithm, that we've used successfully for the past couple of years, but I'll let our programmers comment on that. You can see last years (Rack & Roll) robot in the background too.
