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......
I don't think Tom is bragging or suggesting that they will employ a "flying robot" strategy. I think he is pointing out that the machines we all make, combined with physics and the geometry of the ramp, cause this situation to exist. We should all be wary of the possibility for all of the reasons that you mention.
