You know 1501? They had a quarter inch of ground clearance if I remember correctly and it didn't stop them from encountering a similar problem. 2791 got stuck twice (we had weird programming glitches that would make part of the drive move when the kicker was being recharged).

I wonder why they didn't make the foam flush with the lip of the ramp?
