2007's Best Robot Ramps

[bigbeezy]

86's ramp was great, it had to be since they won Florida. they also were a good defender. their's was probabily the easiest ramp that i drove up at Florida

I think that 829 had the best ramps because the way that they worked was so simple. (And they helped us win )

I have to agree with that

They had a 13 degree incline and it was easy even for our robot who was really close to the ground to get up, it was great!!!!

also I have heard that Da Bears (247) was good, well I wish them the best of luck at nats and hope that we are in the same division and maybe we could win something together like we did at palmetto last year

Come on people, no pictures? At least steal them from the team's website like I did

Best Ramps
503-Best Ramp I have seen so far, simple, doesn't deploy on them and easy to get up
247-Cool Design, Easy to get up, quick for robots to get up
469-The coolest ramp when it deploys, it is wide, and it is very easy to get up if you have a high frame
27-Great design, Lift robot so they don't move, and very wide
1114-Similar to 247, Easy to get up, quickly deployed
623-Very wide, Easy to get up, and you can get on anywhere

Best Lift
67-Really cool design, strong lift, easy for a high frame
57-Interesting design, Lift two with ease, Quick Deploy
279-Great use of cardboard, Low lift, really scary when it lifts

I'm kinda partial to my teams ramp.

190's ramps are very impressive, easy to get up and lift quickly. They were very successful at BAE, and even more so at the Silicon Valley regional today where they made the finals (didn't see who won..).

I'd have to say 1501's air-powered total lift was one of the best systems I've seen in action. Simple to get on, and keeps lifting even when the power is cut.
Super idea!

I noticed many robots having trouble with getting up the ramps and staying on...oops! Anyhow... driving onto a platform then lifting it with the bot(s) seems to be the best way to go.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Here is a video of the "Buzzer" lift. I messed up my video..it's actually match 27, not match 38...er well you get the point I hope.

im surprised no one mentioned team 330 not only do they have a ramp but a sick arm. also remember there are about 2 weeks worth of games left dont downgrade the ones you have yet see.

Let me second and say that Kell's (1311) ramp was amazing, definitely one of the best at peachtree. We were with them in our last qualifying match and it was the easiest ramp I had to drive up.

QFT. These were two of the finalists at SVR (190, 1516, 1280 won I believe), and both these ramp/lifters were really automatic. Both designs use pneumatics I think?

I would say that team 86's ramp is by far the best I have seen this year. Not only is it wide and 13 degrees but it has a pole sticking up at the end so that a robot does not overun the ramp. They have a fast and reliable way of lifting too.

I couldnt find any pics but heres a link to one of our elimination matches in Florida there is a clear shot of them lifting 1270 and 1251 for 60 points

180 and 69 have good ramps too.
