Re: Best/Favorite Ramp Design

SPIRAL RAMP for Tote Delivery
watch here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS2DHfNJ6_U

We built a ramp that carried the totes all the way to the scoring platform after we had bagged and tagged. It didn't fit within our withholding allowance so we had to fabricate it at our regional ( Smoky Mountain FRC Regional). During practice the officials had us move our battery inside our frame perimeter which threw 14 lbs of our ballast forward. It was a legitimate safety concern, but it crippled us on carrying a load. we realized to late that we could have built a carbon fiber box around our battery and salvaged using the spiral ramp.

We weren't designed to use this ramp since it was an after thought. I hope someone with a slide, mecnum or swerve drive can pick it up and use it at championships. I can send the CAD work and material list if needed.
