Re: Should FIRST address "ramp bots"?
I think you're all looking at this on too general of a level and with way, way, waaayyy too many "What if" situations. Obviously there are advantages and to disadvantages. FIRST can ban them, or they cannot. In the latter case teams should be aware that when driving a robot with it - they must be careful, teams going against a 'wedgebot' should know better than to drive themselves up it. Overall it must be handled in a case by case situation, no two situations in a FIRST match are going to be the same - the rules need to be written to guide the inspectors and referees who are the ones who must make the final decision.
