FIRST has said that the score will be kept in real time, and that if the big screen with the score is not visible to both teams they will set up displays by the alliance stations that they can see with the score. So, it will make last minute point scrambles a bit easier to decide.
I think the ramp is only a worthwhile idea if your alliance can get 3 robots on the platform and your opponents cannot. If your opponents can as well, running back to your own side to get 25 will allow them no hassle in doing the same thing, negating your score. However, if your team can get the 25, and they may only be able to get 5 or 10, it may be a good idea.
