 It's always nice to have the outside party take a look at your code because one of two things can happen: 1. They write it better. 2. They find your stupid mistake. - [more] |

Re: Grade Slope for Robot Ramp
In FRC we did a couple platforms that were basically a 1 foot rise with a 3 foot long ramp. This gets you right aroun 30-35 degrees. This was similar to the ramp in the 2006 FRC game. This was very difficult for a lot of teams to climb, but not impossible. Look back over the 2007 FRC game and see what some of the folks did there.

Re: Grade Slope for Robot Ramp
Having delt with several ramp before, I would say 20-25 degrees would be safe. Also, I suggest adding non-slip material such as the stuff used on stairs.
If you have the time, build a seperate (simple) robot so that you can test your ramp. When testing, try using differnt wheel types/sizes and be sure to change the weight of the robot also.

Re: Grade Slope for Robot Ramp
Two years ago? Probably around 55 degrees.
Last year? 25. This year, I really don't know, but I don't imagine it being more than 15 or 20. It varies from robot to robot, and is not a stable measurement. Best idea is to go as low as possible so the largest number of robots can drive up.
