But for any other attempts, he was right next to the ramp to make sure if it fell...he was there to catch it.

Or teams should consider building their own before ship.

Also note: This was just a simple case of driver error, 1065's ramps are a great set. They performed exactly the way they should, and because of this mistake they developled a slightly different technique where they would load the bots against the wall, and pull away, its actually pretty awesome. The thread, pictures and video can be seen here.

I forsee a lot of the same stuff happening this year so becareful all!

Jezz Dan...way to kill my teams bandwidth (Actually I don't care but thanks for the publicity)

This is why our ramp has edges to prevent robots driving off the sides.
