Actually, Ken, they'll be more than happy for you to just sit there. If you attempt to get off, they will try to hold you on. Why? It doesn't matter what color the robot on top is. It still counts for the alliance whose color the ramp is. So if a tippy bot saw an opponent on their ramp, and they were smart, they'd just prevent you from leaving. They get 5 points (or 15) from just holding you on. So you are not keeping them from scoring, you are scoring for them. Why should they try to get you off?
