Re: Teams going after the ramp?
We are planning on installing a parking brake on one wheel. To mount the ramp we are going to hit it at an angle as fast as we can, engage the parking brake and slide sideways into our parking spot. This way we don't have to worry about tilting backwards! The key component to this plan is speed though!

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
something i just thought of. you can use the reverse method. how about instead of pinning an opposing robot on you ramp, sit on their ramp and prevent them from coming up. that gives them 5 points but not 25.

If you know they can't get at least one of their robots on their ramp, you will come out +15 by getting all three on your own ramp. You may be able to block the other alliance and then scoot off their ramp at the last second, thus depriving them of the 5 points your bot would have scored. Even so, not much gain for a risky strategy. |

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
Since i'm seeing a lot of out-of-the-box ideas, what about this? If your robot can shoot well and time's running down, dump a load of balls on their flat part of the ramp. it prevents them getting on the ramp :S. I know its a little bit of a point loss, but it could be worth it.

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
I see people talking about the 25 point bonus for the ramp but realistically, will most of your alliance partners be able to climb the ramp?

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
Even the best-laid plans sometimes don't work out. Most teams probably plan to get up the ramp, but when push comes to shove, I don't believe many teams will manage to get up the ramp in the crunch of the last seconds.

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
We hope we can make up the ramp. It would be tough to have your alliance members setting there waiting for you. Maybe they will be able to drag us up???

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
we at team 815 can go up the ramp from a sitting position at the base of the ramp while carrying 120 lbs. this was one of our main goals

Re: Teams going after the ramp?
With out any obstructions (balls - other robots) it's relatively easy to go up the ramp straight on. Try it at an angle approach with the robot at competition weight . It's a little more interesting
