My guess:

A contraption for the ramp.

What a great idea! Using a cam for lifting against the ground is a unique way of levitating robots.

[pheadxdll]

Brilliant idea! That's a pretty smart way to get some lift.

[Lil' Lavery]

Reminds me of 16's cams in 2004.

[Dylan Gramlich]

yeah that was one of our ideas this year.

[zander_108]

thats brilliant! but i've got some questions for you;

what kinda motor is driving that?
how long does it take to lift?
is it lifting 4" or 12"?
and are you lifting one or two robots?

thanks

[psquared89]

what kinda motor is driving that?

None, our drivetrain simply pulls forward (yeah, it's that strong)

how long does it take to lift?

<2 sec, it's just driving forward.

Is it lifting 4" or 12"?

12" (for both)

and are you lifting one or two robots?

One or two, doesn't matter.

[zander_108]

wow.. thanks, that really is a incredible design then.

[Rich Ross]

Great mechanism! Just toss two of those onto your 2005 bot and you might have similar results to 2005. (or at least one can hope so)

[Jay Trzaskos]

Wow, I have been talking to my VEX team about using a cam design for grasping the bar. This will be a really great visual aid to show them. Great Idea guys.

Hm..seems like other people are using cam's on their robots aswell

[John Gutmann]

I see Team 340.....

[MishraArtificer]

Reminds me of a Traxxas Revo monster truck...
