The frame on that 2006 bot doesn't look like it's in very good shape...

Was your robot last year not the full footprint? It seems like there is a lot of wiggle room on that ramp. I hope teams don't have trouble this year driving up such narrow paths.

Oh, they will. I think there will be tons of teams who have ramps, but only a select few whos work reliably and effectively.

Last year's base has seen better days... But hopefully we'll fix it soon.

Actually, we had to file off some bolt-heads last year to fit into the box

There are eight inches of wiggle room on the ramp. Last year's base was 28", and this years is 36. A good driver should be able to navigate that I mis-measured yesterday... the ramp is actually 100 inches long.
