Re: Ramp Angle Survey

It's reasonable to assume that most robots this year with have a higher CG than last year. About half last year didn't even try to go up the 30 degree ramp. With this in mind, 15(ish) degrees should be the maximum to accomidate most robot designs. Any higher, and you'll have a lot of flipping.
