2007's Best Robot Ramps

[Protronie]

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.

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.

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.

I wish I had a picture of 548's ramp. They were awesome and we were soooo psyched that they were available for us to pick at Great Lakes. (548, this would be a great time to send me a picture of your ramps to post....)

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

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?

This is Team 1070's Lift at Southern California Regionals, lifting 968 and 599. I'm partial, cuz my team built it.. but i feel it is absolutely amazing
