Oh my god, this is a good find. This makes me think that it will be a 2x2 game with a FIRST-controlled defensive bot defending the top (where there will be a goal for the footballs).

Ramps will have to be scaled by robots during the end of the match--which will be autonomous--for extra points...and they must have started *off* the ramp before autonomous began.
