During eliminations, we had 5254's ramp tethered to our robot. They needed it to increase their scoring output, but they didn't have the weight to have both the ramp and their crossbow to grab containers from the step (which we badly needed).

20 had the weight since we removed our active intake, and we tethered their ramp to our robot. We were concerned about the tether getting caught in our wheels, but we managed to avoid it for most of playoffs by accounting for it in match strategy.

Our third partner, 3624, also used a ramp for their last qualification match, and looked fairly impressive. In their first match with a ramp, they managed to make their first capped stack of 5 of the tournament. They were also excellent at capping stacks of 5 with their other manipulator.
