2007's Best Robot Ramps

[Tri_Lam]

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.

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.

This is a beautifull thing.

Pacific NorthWest regional:

Xbot and 997
997 was teh champ and both Xbot's and 997's robots had two large platforms that would lift robots. Very reliable.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Though I must say those curved ramps looked sexy. Was never a fan of lifts...

I would have to say teams 1188 (like last years aim high ramp) and 469 (Very Reliable)

Thanks. http://www.zeltech.org/oaktowncrewz/...ives/robot.jpg

It all folds up flat.

Team 1501's buzzer lifts are awesome, they helped us at Boilermaker during the qualifying rounds. My only suggestion to the team is to somehow get a bigger ramp base. We had to enter the ramp on an angle so one wheel was off the ramp. This way, the frame was resting on the ramp so we wouldn't fall off.

Someone from 1359 mentioned us earlier, thanks guys,
both team 488 xbot and us had lifters that worked reliably in portland

notice this is NO ramp, this is a lifter, ramps were steep and sometimes impossible for robots to climb, this solves that problem

My three votes from SVR are 190, 488, and 624. All had really good, easy to use lifts.

[royal_robotix]

for me, i have to say 1070 had some excellent ramps (lol). they could lift an elephant!!!

but overall, at the LA regional, 330 had some awesome ramps (in addition to their excellent scoring ability, it made them unstoppable) and the SV regional, i have to say 190 was a pretty excellent bot with their lift system...

[razor95kds]

488 and 190 had awesome lifts. I am more partial to 488's lift because it was very easy to get onto and it could perform a "buzzer" lift.

[Philimator]

469 - easy to get up on and wide enough for some elbow room
27 - same as 469's design just different colours (yeah i spelled colours that way )
503 - They are the Martian killers with those ramps, at GLR both of the martian teams laid waste to there awesome froggy power.
703 - Although they didnt get to show off they ramps too much at Western michigan, when those babies fold out you hear the call of the phoenix!

I normally don't pimp my team's own hardware, but I'm really a fan of 48's ghetto-functional Viagra Button-actuated ultrasteel ramps of doom. I enjoy watching them spring up and crash down to the ground every time they deploy. Whether this makes them some of the best ramps, I don't know, but they are certainly some of the most entertaining.
