Why? Through my testing/visualization, if you have one robot on the flat part of the ramp, and one determined to get it off, you'll have one heck of a defensive battle, most likely with the robot who was there, still being on the ramp, although being in no position to be in front of the center goal. If you have two robots on the ramp, and any number of robots attempting to get them off, it'll be a waste of time, the two robots on top will remain on top, although spectacular play by the other alliance could change this. With 3 robots on the ramp, there's no point in trying to evict them. Reason being, the ramp is not very big from a turning standpoint. Assuming you drive straight up the ramp, you'll be hard pressed to turn, unless you can do so in within your starting drive base.
