To be King ...

Todd,

You are hitting to the heart of my point. I do think a robot powerful enough to be king of the hill can also be made to stack, but I also think that in order to truly dominate the middle ground you will need to get into position within the 1st 4 seconds and not move the entire match.

Do I think there will be teams to do this successfully? YES.

If there are teams that do this successfully, then their partner will be 2 v 1 for the entire match.

My contention is that the second a ramp dominator leaves the top surfaace, it becomes open territory.
