 Capability and willingness are two very different things. Anybody can dance, though you could spend your lifetime unsuccessfully trying to convince them of that. - Mr. Pockets [more] |

The ramps raise and lower. So once a robot gets on top of us we can raise them off of the mesh.
We can raise the ramps to keep opponents from driving up the ramps. The main idea of the ramps was to control the entire ramp area so that we could let other robots drive on top of us or completely over us as we wished. We also thought about the 30 degree slope of our ramp, and from what we have seen, if a robot can make it up the field ramp they can make it up ours. We had some trouble getting teams up the ramps during our invitational, but that was because we didn't put our grip tape on yet. Once we get the grip tape on it should be a lot easier. Come by and see us at Arizona or Nats. Bring your bot and we might have time to let you drive over! |
