2. FRC had a lot of freedom to manufacture parts out of anything that was not prohibitively expensive. FTC has many restrictions and we are not sure about the following:
a) We want to put a curve ramp similar to a snow plow blade. What material is needed to build it and how do you suggest we build it?
b) How can we extend the frame, specifically the base of the robot? We wanted to extend the robot's frame after the match starts in order to increase the ball capacity.
Thank you in advance for your time.

1) RobotC forums are pretty active, but that's primarily for RobotC programming. I'm not aware of any other forums.
2a) You can use lexlan or the metal sheets that are allowed this year.
2b) Extending the *frame* is not easy, I'm not even sure it's possible with the lack of sliders and stuff. I recommend experimenting with expanding storage such as expandable buckets made from rope, lexlan, or rubber bands.
Good luck.
