This raised platform has the game peices on it(whatever that may be). The ramp has a moving mechanism attached to it that is constantly moving(down to 0 degree's and up to the point that it touches the raised platform). Each allience can only have one robot up on the platform at any given time. The goal of that robot is to throw down the game peices so that the other members of that robots allience can do something with them.


Maybe, but I'm kind of going off on a tangent.
I totally agree, this is what i was thinking. The degree of the ramp will be 32 degrees. This angle was mentioned before. So it means that this year you might need a lot of traction and the bot needs to be robustly built (more than last year)
