I thought it would be neat to see what you all consider to be the best ramps different teams have had. At Peachtree, Team 1311 (Kell Robotics), had a very nice curved ramp, which helped prevent robots getting stuck on lips and angles. They had a vertical edge to help prevent driving off the end/side, and proved to be a formidable opponent with their excellent defense. And, I must say, their robot was by far the coolest-looking one there. Great job, Kell.
247’s ramp is pretty good. One robot drives on top, and another goes on their ramp, which then lifts up at least to 12". If they won both the Pittsburg and Detroit Regionals, it’s gotta be good.
86’s ramp was great, it had to be since they won Florida. they also were a good defender. their’s was probabily the easiest ramp that i drove up at Florida
1501 was incredible I love that total loophole they found in the rules. If they started lifting before the end of the match and both bots stayed on tah dah 60. The air system kept raising it after the robot was disabled because the solenoid didn’t change state, or at least that is how I understand it.
They had a 13 degree incline and it was easy even for our robot who was really close to the ground to get up, it was great!!!
also I have heard that Da Bears (247) was good, well I wish them the best of luck at nats and hope that we are in the same division and maybe we could win something together like we did at palmetto last year
Best Ramps
503-Best Ramp I have seen so far, simple, doesn’t deploy on them and easy to get up
247-Cool Design, Easy to get up, quick for robots to get up
469-The coolest ramp when it deploys, it is wide, and it is very easy to get up if you have a high frame
27-Great design, Lift robot so they don’t move, and very wide
1114-Similar to 247, Easy to get up, quickly deployed
623-Very wide, Easy to get up, and you can get on anywhere
Best Lift
67-Really cool design, strong lift, easy for a high frame
57-Interesting design, Lift two with ease, Quick Deploy
279-Great use of cardboard, Low lift, really scary when it lifts
190’s ramps are very impressive, easy to get up and lift quickly. They were very successful at BAE, and even more so at the Silicon Valley regional today where they made the finals (didn’t see who won…).
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.
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
