What do you think?

Disclaimer: This is not a thread to blast the design of the game, just a rhetorical question.
I'd build a robot that climbed onto my ramp, extended up to cover the 3 pt goal, and extended two arms out to block the 1 pt goals. It could probably do it in autonomous mode, too.
The other alliance cannot score any balls, and I have 25 pts for being on the ramp. All my alliance needs is to score one ball anywhere and get the other two robots on the platform and we're unbeatable.

Now that would be a boring match.
