Without advocating anything, there are two very straight-forward (but not necessarily easy) reasons:
- You can't win a head-to-head Teleop, but you beat them in Hybrid
- You know you can't win a head-to-head Teleop, and the best bet for your alliance is the Bridge. Even if it's not guaranteed, it could be your best shot if that's the way the alliances are skewed.

Essentially, If you can gain a considerable lead in Hybrid or get within your Bridge differential, but know you can't hold it once their Teleop scoring picks up, shutting down ball control could be very effective. Don't assume the only way to get ahead it to do something that hoarding inhibits.

Is there a rule against using your kinect as a sensor on your robot?

Why build a ramp when there are already three perfectly good ramps on the field? Build a robot 24" tall (or compacts to that height) that can hold a field ramp in the up position so another robot can climb on top of you.

Some remaining problems to solve are::

How do you keep the robot on top of you from falling off when you try to get on the ramp? They would need to have a very low center of gravity as well.
How do you fit in gathering and shooting mechanisms in a robot that short?

No, but there are a lot of implementation issues. Search for the kinect threads.

One clarification you may need is: Who supplies the Kinect for the Hybrid mode?
