I wonder if there are going to be any "ramp-bots" at the Silicon Valley Regional.  So far, I haven't heard of any, but recently heard about one very interesting robot that deserves some attention.  An anonymous source told me that Team 360's robot does not touch the goals, balls, or bridge.  Instead, its main function is to lift the stretcher off the ground and go under the bar (with the stretcher over the bar).  I'm not exactly sure how this is accomplished, but my source said that he had visual validity of the claim.  If this is so, then I considerably doubt that they'll get a tremendously high qualifying score, but they should be a valuable partner to any alliance in the elimination rounds.  In any case though, it should be an awesome sight to see!
