It really depends on who your opponents are...
If you hit the wall onto your side first and then you are able to hold the ramp, not allowing anything through. You will most likely win. However, you will not win if your opponents are stackers with the capability of dumping several boxes at a time over the bar. Then they simply push the boxes into their scoring zone and you lose.
If you do knock the stack onto your side it is important to push the boxes down the ramp so they will be in scoring position. The only benifet for leaving them on the ramp is to make it more difficult for a robot to come up at you.
Lets pretend your opponents are two tanks. Even if you have the stack in your scoring zone you better start stacking or you won't win. Your opponents will be able to dominate the ramp and get their 50 points. Granted, with a multiplier of 2 you will win. But what if one tank comes down and manhandles your stacking robots. Your opponent would end the match with 25 and you will have many bins in scoring position and hopefully win.
The more you run the numbers the more you see that the final alliances will comprise of a tank and a stacker. A very exciting game indeed. See everyone next week in Manchester!
EDIT______________
This is the first year where I think we might see rookies come up big in the finals.
