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.

How would you introduce a house robot?
This would tick people off more than anything FIRST has ever done in the past. Unless it just sits there, or drives around with flashing lights all over it, far away from the action, there's no way to keep the robot from adversely or positively effecting the rest of the teams. Everyone would complain that xx alliance got more help from the house bot than yy alliance, and zz alliance got completely screwed, etc.
Plus, how on earth are teams supposed to build their own robot, PLUS a second robot, just to have a working field?
This isn't battlebots, where the entire goal is to destroy everything else on the field. There's no way there's a house bot.
