What if your robot blocks the third robot on the opposing alliance from getting up the ramp at the end, thereby dropping their bonus from 25 points to 10? That might not be worth points to YOUR alliance, but it shifts the margins, and such a big shift could be enough to swing the match.

It's a matter of trade-offs. You can win both by scoring points and by keeping your opponent from scoring points.

We used bumpers, and we're still fine getting up the ramp. Depends on your design, and your strategy.
