Bin Placement

With regards to the bin placement on the ramp, let's do some math. The bins are 17 3/4" by 24ish (close enough). The rules state that the bins will be ~3" apart and centered on the ramp.

7 bins * 17 3/4" = 124 1/4" = 10' 4" + 6 * 3" = 11' 10"

Ramp is only 12' wide, so the skinny side will be facing the robots.
