If you can prevent
all of them from getting up the ramp this might be something to look at. However, remember you have just given them 5 points, and taken 15 points away from your own alliance. If you are successful in blocking them, the net is +5 for your alliance. But if they can get one robot on the ramp despite your maneuvering to block, the net effect is 0. You would have achieved the same result if you ignored their ramping attempts and just focused on your own end.
If you know they can't get at least one of their robots on their ramp, you will come out +15 by getting all three on your own ramp.
You may be able to block the other alliance and then scoot off their ramp at the last second, thus depriving them of the 5 points your bot would have scored. Even so, not much gain for a risky strategy.
