Re: Going for 3 robots on Ramp?

After a few quick calculations, it would appear the to get three robots to be supported by the bridge, regardless of balancing (and assuming a requirement that the outermost wheel should be at or inside the edge of the ramp, and that wheel center is 4" from the edge of the bot), The average robot dimension would have to be less than 27". That would mean three 27" bots, or one 10" bot and two 35 1/2" bot etc. I see an excellent opportunity for a team to build a tiny bot with the sole intent of being a third pick. Any bot that can guarantee 20 bonus points would be a likely pick for the elims.
