Automatic Graphing Sheet 1 and Sheet 2: I set up arrays in the sheets so it would automatically graph the data as you send it in. Let me know if you have any questions about setting up a similar sheet for your classes.

Ramp Files - Want to print your own ramps with a 3D Printer? The link to the right will give you access to the .stl files so you can set them up for your printer. Also, if you are using a MakerBot 2, the x3g are provided as well.
