Ok, the space those balls would take up is minimal. It would take 20 or so balls to begin to prevent a robot weighing 145lbs (battery and bumpers) from going up the ramp. Remember your robot needs to be off the carpet not on top of the ramp. Plus if you spat those balls up there you could have just spat them into a goal and gained 20 pts instead of blocking 15 at most. I really do think it is better just to be able to get more points during the play period and not worry about the ramp. But things do change and we hope our top heavy robot can make it up the ramp...

But then again gyroscopes... gyroscopes...
