Wow, this sounds like a scene out of World Wide Wrestling where they guys climb up on the ropes and then do a "flying squash" on top of another wrestler.....Cool.

So, your "airborne" robot can "fly" off the ramp and onto the field? Just hope that a) your electrical components and camera can survive the shock and b) that you don't attempt this stunt with another robot in the path....there's gotta be a penalty in here somewhere......
