My philosophy on ramp speed is this: slow and steady wins the race, sometimes. You have to find out how well your opponents do on the ramp to accurately get on top and do some programing on the fly. I think if you go slower than usual and get more bins and are more accurate, then that's the best idea for slower opponents. But for a fast bot, a one time sprint would be worth it in the long run. I stand by our mentor Mr. Cook in saying that auton is a PART of the solution of the game. The rest is robot capabilities and driver control.

This game cannot be won by auton. Ever. I even have proof if you don't believe it.
