Ramp to lift robots

[JamesBrown]

Last year teams with bumpers could just make it up a 30 degree ramp. if you aim for around 20 degrees you should be safe.

also many robots wont be able to climb at all. even at 20 degrees most still wount be able to get up. 20 degrees would be the mmost i would build the ramp. also you stilll have to be within the ending demsions

Remember, there are no ending dimensions in the home zone.

Our team is planning to build a ramp... it will be around 19 degrees and I'm pretty sure most robots will be able to get up it easily with what we are planning... Only time will tell, I'm hoping to get a couple of local teams over to try it out when it's finished.

I think the key to ramps is getting the word out to teams that lots of people are building ramps. Even if you don't want to worry about the levitation portion of the game design your robot so that in at least one direction it can drive up a 20 degree ramp. It will help you win games and it will make all the ramps people build useful.
