Our team brainstorming came to the same conclusion as another poster in this thread - that if your robot can get up the ramp, you make yourself a valuable alliance partner to another team that also thinks it's important.

We saw many games in Triple Play that hinged on the 10-point bonus at the end of the match. Those 10 points were equivalent to a single completed row. The 25-point max team bonus this year equals a lot of balls in the goal. It could be important.
And you'd be alot more vaulable if you got the torque and the design to help your other alliance robots get up the ramp
