Swamp 179 had a little trouble going up because they were front heavy, but when they turned around, they were fine going up.

Drivers, if you plan on going up a ramp, make sure you aren't too front or top heavy.
I'd just like to point out our bot's CG is centered axially and at the bottom of the bumper zone. I think the trick is to build up momentum, that's how he got up there. Our arm looks heavy but it's 7.5lbs.
