Re: Scoring platform construction

Depending on how the ramp is being made it may be a lot easier to use trigonometry for building the ramp. You wouldn't actually have to cut a 16 degree angle as long as you make all the lengths of the pieces correct. Think of the side of the ramp as a triangle. The shortest side being 2" The Hypotenuse being the sloping piece 7.215" The third side using geometry is 6.84...". Using these and making a right angle on one side will automatically give you the desired angles by default. As long as the FRC field drawings are accurate and to scale of course. I"ll try to make up some quick sketches if needed.
