are you making it lighter somehow, or does it just look heavier than it is?how would robots get up onto your platforms? |

Re: pic: 1429 Ramps deployed
You know I am hoping that the material isn't just plain aluminum. I am sure the team thought about the weight issue before starting to build it.
... the other day when I walked in Team 1251's home and picked up a 2x4 ACM (Aluminum Composite Material), I swear I thought it would be 15-20 pounds, when it was really just about 5-8 pounds. |

Re: pic: 1429 Ramps deployed
It looks heavier than it is. It is made of punched aluminum. Each ramp weighs about 6 pounds. The ends of the ramps are flush with the ground on deploy, then the pistons raise the ramps to a height of 13 inches. More pictures to follow.

Better make sure that you don't put the metal right on the ground-that would be against the rules. Metal or hard plastics cannot be placed directly on the ground.

Re: pic: 1429 Ramps deployed
wild guess: ramps unfold, robots drive on, then cylinders actuate to lift them up.
