Go to Post How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]

Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots

Any more than that and it is a waste and will result in very lopsided matches. I think that I would be more than happy to face an alliance with two ramp teams and one moderate scoring team.
I respectfully disagree. A system to score on the lower rung can be very simple and light. And the ramps shouldn't have to weigh more than 10ish lbs each, I think. I realize that's a good chunk of weight, but you'd still have a good amount to play with for other systems.
