Re: To ramp, or not to ramp?

Getting back to the endzone ramp is a tough call this year. Ordinarily, you would be able to scan the field quickly to tell if it advantageous to go back and get the points needed.

2003: You can scan for the number of bins in the scoring zones
2005: Scan the field for triple plays

This year seems to be a lot more tricky. In order to make the call and decide whether to go back or not, it would be very helpful to know your score and your opponent's score. You could argue that you can estimate, I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that 2 mins can go very fast when you are only paying attention to your own robot (which you will really have to). For me, deciding to tell my drivers wheter or not to come back to the endzone for the bonus points will come with experience as I learn the game from on the field.


GO 1403!!!
