driving over elements

Somthing that 10D has found usefull is that we have a slanted front plate on our chassis so that the objects just get pushed up and out of the way.

Yeah 1492X has found the taper extremely useful since we first used it in December. A horizontal taper also helps squeeze into corners, not so sure about a vertical taper.

Ya, since our NZ intake reaches far enough out, we have found that with just our horizontal taper it allows us to drive and score anywhere. It also helps us push it really helps because of our transmission

Since your taper is pretty much a mini ramp, does it have any legality issues? What happens if a robot drives up the taper and tips? XD

We have never had any legality issues, because the taper is steep enough to just lift 2 wheels barely off the ground, and we make sure that we do not raise the arm, we have never tipped anyone even when pushing them while their arm was up, so in short, no
