Two questions come up:

1) By "designated ground scoring area," you mean that the balls simply have to be on your side of the ramp?

2) The rules say "Robots built with the sole intention of the destruction of the field or
other robots will not be tolerated." Is tipping, particularly on the ramp, considered destruction?

1) yes. Every ball on yourside of the ramp is worth 1 point; ie. each team starts with 30 pts.

2) Tipping is not destruction. Although building something that does nothing but tip isn't that cool of an idea...right kids?

Any part of the 30 deg ramp is considered ramp for 20 pts. Per the definition of the 30deg ramp.
