On our 15" robot, we need a ramp in order for the ball to score in the goal. We considered several things in designing our ramp.

Things to Consider

• Size constraints
• Size of the ball
• Location in relation to the flywheel
• Angle needed to launch the goal
• How the ball would move
• Attachment to the robot

Drawing of initial ramp design

After testing our ramp design, we found that it could be improved and we made several improvements.

Improvements

• Attaches to metal - adds more support
• Bendable because of the lip at the end
