I take that statement to be only from the wedge robot's point of view. What if the wedge bot deploys the ramp on the field of play such that one of his alliance partners can climb up on him to reach higher on the rack? The ramp robot is not scoring (being offensive) or defending, so why would such a maneuver be illegal? I'd like a clarification on this matter.
Im really interested on the ruling for this. Maybe a first Q&A? If anything its an offensive ramp and illeagal per rule <R05>.
