Never fear teams!!! We are 102% certain that our robot will support your robot... no matter it's weight I'm careful on the lifting so if one robot gets up, it will STAY up =]

Yup I saw alot of those on Archimedes. I was a field reset all of friday. Most of the ones that looked like that ended up falling over. It was horrible to watch.

That's nutty. And sweet. Talk about extreme engineering!

Even 2 of your wheels are off the ground. Love the bumpers!

Everyone who got on our ramps thought the exact same thing lol. But do not fear... If a robot fell off it, I would be hiding myself haha... but I don't have to worry about that =] That's my baby right there... and I wouldn't let my baby hurt anyone else's =]

Maybe you guys will get to test it in an offseason =)

Team 102 ALWAYS pushes any limits we can We work on little luck... all experience haha.

Btw... in case anyone is wondering how we lift the ramps...

1) We come back to the home zone
2) We shift into neutral off the black box on the control board
3) Robot[s] get onto the 'ramps'
4) Yes, we do lift off the drive train

Many people find that amazing... I think it's something pretty awesome as well
