If bot can get up there fast, that looks like an awesome robot.

I forgot to tell you guys, the ramps will be textured at comps, with grip tape, kinda like a skateboard, to make it easier to get on.

I know what is on the end of your arms. I recognize them exactly. To be quite honest. I'm scared of you.

Just one question, what stop and opponent from using the ramp on your robot?

My guess is the 30+ degree slope of that ramp, I doubt seriously that many robots this year could go over than and not tip, and it is also looks like they might have the ability to raise either side of the ramp at will.

Reminds me of wildstang 2 years ago.. problem is though:
1) Light? where is it? Where is it going to be? I see what looks to be a circle at the front of your bot, if it's there, what about the low-clearence bots? *broken light*

2) Ramp.. Are you planning on having mates just on your ramp, or on the top of your bot? If they are going to just be on your ramp, you better have a method to keep it off the mesh, otherwise you both lose the 25pts from being king of the hill.

Good luck, I'm sure you've thought these through, just I can't tell what you are planning

The ramps raise and lower. So once a robot gets on top of us we can raise them off of the mesh.

We can raise the ramps to keep opponents from driving up the ramps.

The main idea of the ramps was to control the entire ramp area so that we could let other robots drive on top of us or completely over us as we wished.

We also thought about the 30 degree slope of our ramp, and from what we have seen, if a robot can make it up the field ramp they can make it up ours.

We had some trouble getting teams up the ramps during our invitational, but that was because we didn't put our grip tape on yet. Once we get the grip tape on it should be a lot easier.

Come by and see us at Arizona or Nats. Bring your bot and we might have time to let you drive over!

Huh? Reminds you of Wildstang? Oh you're talking about our 2001 bot. Looks like you put 2 of our 2001 bots together end-to-end

Good strategy and nice looking implementation. Do you think all teams will have the ground clearance to get up on your ramp or will their frame hit instead of the wheels?

We had a team hit thier frame on the top edge at the invitational. We're gonna start working on some solutions to that problem.

Yes it does look like Wildstang 2001. I loved Wildstang 2001 its my favorite bot of all time, it was my base for ideas. Thanks for the inspiration guys.

In 2001 a guy on my team (64) came up with an idea similar to Wildstang's and he called it "The Wedge" and he said "The Wedge is the Edge" and we told him he was crazy and it would never work. Then I saw Wildstang, I didn't want to make that mistake again.

So there it is, "The Wedge is the Edge!"

Would I be correct if I said that your robot sucks? (That's not meant derogatorily...but just a guess at what's on the end of those arms ) Looks great. Is your bot going to hang over the edge of HDPE? If so, what will stop you from hitting the mesh if someone pushes on you just right? Great job.

Hey Gila,

I am delighted that you were inspired by our design. That is what FIRST is about - right.

Since your team number (1011) is so similar to ours (0111) (binary team numbers?), then it makes even more sense that you carried our design forward.

Don't be surprised to find some of 2001 in our robot this year also. [hint]
