Wowza, looks sharp great job guys.

My only question is that that looks like quite a bit deflection in your cross members of your ramp.

Have you done any calculations or measurements to see how close you are to the edge of where yielding will occur? I would hate to see it begin to form itself into an unusable shape ( then again you can always replace it if or when that happens )

Also, did you drive the bot up the ramp or place it there? I'm kind of curious to how well that polycarb ( or acrylic? ) holds up when a robot kind of slams into it.

It looks solid tho maybe its just the angle of the picture that looks like its causing that deflection. Maybe run some calc or even easier just some bench tests to see how when the dynamic loading / impact force of the robot running into and driving up the ramp will effect the integrity of those cross members.

I'm sure you've already been beeting the heck of it hehe but just a reminder.

Looks great, I'm deffinately gonna be scared to play you guys at UCF!
