They wouldn't intentionally provide misleading information in the official presentation of the game. However, the game with the rocking ramp (Diabolical Dynamics?) was won using a scheme which ignored the example of a single robot balancing on the ramp while holding on to one goal at each side. The teams who followed that example lost the opportunity to have all four robots score bonus points at the end of the match.

So consider well your options. A spinning-wheel ball launcher is an obvious choice, but it might not be the winning one.
