Jonathan,

It wasn't my intention to single out any teams in that statment. I think its just a fact of life...bumpers make it more difficult to climb ramps. I think you guys would have been fine climbing on top of us.

In response to Tom, you are partially right...its not necessarily fair for teams to have to pull off bumpers to climb another robot...but when the robots that dictate whether or not you might win a round or the championship need these little tweaks, it might be a risk worth taking.

Also note that in the matches I watched at the scrimmage et al, there must have been ALOT of design flaws. I dont know if I saw a bumpered robot sucessfully climb a ramp bot all day at the scrimmage. I couldn't tell you how many did or not yesterday because I wasn't watching.

My conclusion...not necessarily a design flaw, but more envelope dictating ramp. We shall see though.
