It seems that the big problem with the winged KOH bots is that they have troubles with maneuverability. They can only effectively put their wings down when near the top of the hill.

If they have their wings up, then they are more tipply-topply. This may make them susceptible to over-turning when going up the hill.

If they get to the top and spread in auton mode, they should do well. If not, then they are not well configured to play 1:45 with other bots pushing and shoving on them.

We shall see how the mega-ramp-doms do in later regionals and nationals as they get the bugs worked out of their auton code and mechanics. Unlike stackers, I wouldn't toss in the towel on ramp-doms just yet.
