Re: 4 inches vs. 1 foot

I met with a local rookie team today and noticed they too are building a ramp, but their robot had no clearance to climb a ramp. This seems to be a bit worrisome to me. I think that ramp bots will be common this year, but not all of them will get the job done consistently. I'd choose and ally with a 4" ramp that was roomy and sturdy and consistent than a 12" ramper that is questionable. Getting far in the championship rounds is all about consistent scoring. And for the love of pete, make sure your robot can climb a ramp in case an alliance member has a better ramp!
