Please tell me there's a bearing block or some sort of support on the outside end of that banebots shaft... it looks badly cantilevered, you're probably going to have serious issues if it's not supported.

The ramp looks great!

We shipped the bearing blocks with the robot because we never got around to putting them on. The robot has had a max of 45 mins. total driving time as of ship, so we haven't put too much stress on them, thankfully.

The ramps worked out nicely after we went through a few iterations of our original design. They are strong and have good traction, but were a little heavier than we'd hoped. Thanks for the comments!
