The design is excellent ... something I have grown to expect from your robots year to year. just excellent. two questions, first is how wide the ramp parts that the team's wheels will ride on... can't quite make out how big of a gap that is in the middle. second question, how do you pick off the ground I am not quite seeing it, and am quite interested (or do you plan to only pick from the human loader).

Good Luck at your first regional and see you in Waterloo.

The ramps have 2 different widths. We believe that we can can 2 robots with 28" width or one 28" and one 38". Yes we can pick off of the ground.

I think that arm has a one stage lift and a rotating arm. Hence when the lift is collapsed the arm reaches the floor.
