: Here is what our team's field expert Andy lee found out about manipulating the ramp:
: (the -'s are just for spacing)
: Data set one: An unloaded ramp.
: Inches froms pivot point----Static mass required to ----------------------------change posistion(lbs).
: ----------------------------Slanted--------Balanced
: 12--------------------------30--------------80
: 24--------------------------15--------------30
: 36--------------------------10--------------15
: 48--------------------------5---------------10
: Data set two: Loaded with 260Lbs of robot(105bls), goals(70lbsx2), and balls(black 1lbsx10 each & one big 5lbs)
:
: Inches froms pivot point----Static mass required to ----------------------------change posistion(lbs).
: ----------------------------Slanted--------Balanced
: 12--------------------------170--------------80
: 24--------------------------50---------------30
: 36--------------------------30---------------15
: 48--------------------------25---------------10
:
: Force to hold a goal on the ramp while tilted = 10 Lbs
: Constant force required to pull the goal up the ramp = 20 lbs
: Force to pull the strecher up the ramp = 30lbs
: These are all approximate values due to the dynamic nature of the system.
thanks ken.
