We actually had a FLL competition at Preuss (San Diego) and if I can see correctly that is the LEGOPros from HighTech Middle. Those kids are amazing, I do not remember seeing that ramp during out competition (Nov 13), but if there was any flaw AT ALL with their robot, it was that the one team beat them to the basket, maybe they integrated the ramp to beat other teams to the basket. Another thing was that they didn't put all 8 balls in the basket in San Diego, so the ramp is on their now. The team scored 370 in one round in San Diego, and I'm sure with the addition with the ramp they have the capability of going to the max now. At the end they do 4 tasks in one: They light sense the bus stop, bring the food to the pets, hit the gate open, reverse and up the stairs in less than 20 seconds. They were last year's runners up at nationals, and the only thing that is really keeping them from going all the way, is if they can finish the mission faster than the other team (mostly referring to the making the center basket). So if they can get the ball in the center ring first, there is no way they can really lose, just tie, unless the team decides to go through the gate all the way. Other than not getting 5 points for going through the gate all the way, they have max points now.
