Ramp and Tipping
I know that many threads are out there regarding the importance/unimportance of getting up the ramp.
Today we were experimenting going up the ramp and man did it look like our robot was going to tip.
Lucky for us that was all it did(look like it)...after some further testing we came to the conclusion that although it seemed that the robot was going to tip, it was still pretty secure.
I think that the competition...at least the first few regionals... will have many fans being on the edge of their seats when robots go for the ramp. Any robot that hits the ramp with any amount of speed will surely look "dangerously tippy". The angle makes sure that this year the ramp will be an interesting target.

I got to talk with Mr. Flowers briefly last year. I told him that I had wanted to be part of FIRST since about 1980. It was nearly a quarter-century later when my son entered high school and I joined the TechnoKats as a mentor. - Alan Anderson [more]
