Re: Should FIRST address "ramp bots"?

We had a "ramp bot" this year. We called it "offensive defense." Basically, our idea was that we were going to use GP on the field (as expected) and not drive up to a robot to flip them. Our ramp was so that if we were trying to cap and another machine tried to play defense on us, that all that they could do was to drive up on us and give us a little extra weight to help out our CG. We foresaw a number of machines this year going defensive and decided that we had to protect ourselves. We aren't going to go and attack another machine with it, but you had better bet that if we get attacked while playing our game that we will defend ourselves.
