Re: Ramp help
The bravest and scariest thing I ever saw at a regional this year was the driver who came at the ramp at about 6 to 8 feet per second (flying) straight on, no angle and didn't start breaking until the bot was about half way up. The bot didn't have time to lean back and the carpet side wheels just lifted up and the bot slapped the back wall and came to a stop. It looked like someone had reached down and just lifted the bot straight up and set it back down. It was either a panic move or had been well practiced. Don't know but it was a blast to watch after my heart started again.
