You do not need your teammates on the ramp, you could put the other team on your ramp

yes a 25 pts swing could help. just think the other team can't get 25 pts when they are on your ramp

I also believe that the opposing alliances robots count for your score as well, so you very well could be causing a 30 pt+ swing for your team!

I still believe if your team cannot keep up with a couple of good shooters, that by the end of the match, 25 pts (assuming ALL three can get up) may not make up the difference. Close matches will come down to ramp...not necessarily getting up it, but keeping others off it, or even as stated above, pushing your opponents up on yours.
