Re: Lonestar Regional/Others? Ramp Problems

Student on team #388, Epsilon, from Grundy High School and NASA, American Electric Power, Town of Grundy. In Reply to: Re: Lonestar Regional/Others? Ramp Problems Posted by Stephen on 03/18/2001 11:51 AM EST: : There were definately problems at VCU. The ramp "balanced" about an inch off the ground, also, it did jump off when teams went a little fast over the ramp. But, all of these problems are because the ramps are being re-used, and that's what happens when you have metal on metal. Also, I don't think FIRST will do anything about it, so we'll just have to learn to live with it. I agree about the ramp at VCU we pushed the ramp down with the arm and actually pressed it aginst the floor and when we lifted our arm the ramp came up and balanced!!!! Then the october sky team did their "poor man's balance" thing and I was really ticked. On a lighter side I am glad to see someone from the VCU regional on the boards (I thought I was the only one) Justin Stiltner Team #388 Epsilon Grundy Va, |
