Ramp Approach

Chairman's Award is not about building the robot. Every team builds a robot.

We are very aware of this. This is just a practice bot we made off-season for our freshmen. Our chassis is in the final stages of the design and has been designed to go over the ramp with relative ease(We included the bumper ). Our appendage has also been cadded and is in the correct legal dimensions. The one on the practice bot here doesn't have the correct appendage dimensions as well and so it had trouble pulling the ramp down and was forced to "hop" onto it at a fast speed.
