This year, if an alliance robot has a ramp, the angle will not be known, the width may, or may not be sufficient, and some robots will not be designed to climb a ramp. Last years ramp was a solid unmoving structure, this year (if a robot has a ramp) it will be mobile, and probably flex under load. Remember, the longer you make it, the more structure it needs to support the weigh. Lets hope people dont weight reduce structural members.

So even a 'relatively flat' ramp may prove to be a difficult (if not impossible) obsticle.
