That's too bad - it would have been awesome to see this robot "come out of its shell" and climb up its own ramp at the end of the match to score the elevation points... though I guess the shell would still count as being part of the robot.

I like the out-of-the-box thinking!

Are you planning on using bumpers?

It might be difficult to mount them but they could stiffen up the ramps with free weight.

Very Nice Robot. Cool Idea. Great Job

Yup, bumpers will be attached to three sides probably, we might figure out some way to attach it to the ramp side without interfering, guess we'll see this Thursday

Thanks for all the comments and questions!
