In the Competition Manual the ramp is described as being one that has a
15 degree incline with a 1 foot peak (1.3.5 pg 5) made of 3/4 inch plywood
for the deck. The prints, however, describe the ramp as having a 1/2 inch
plywood deck and a base that extends tip-to-tip 7' 9'. By doing a little simple
trig. this cannot be. It should measure 7' 5 5/8' from tip-to-tip for a 15 degree
rise. To me, this could possibly be a large difference from either being on or off
at the end of the match. Any thoughts on this? We're planning on making the
ramp tomorrow and would like to make it correctly.
