obviously, telekenisis is ideal for robot lifting.
no seriously, the only thing i have against ramps is ramp robots are heavilly relying on two things
1. the other robots ability to climb a ramp (our team was talking yesterday and decided that if we wanted to be a really really good ramp robot, we probably would have trouble getting up ramps ourselves.)
2. You rely on both robots being active, present, or completely functional. Many, many times last year during the matches robots would either have something break off, the battery would die, they could get disqualified, the robot wasn't turned on (monty madness -.-

or the team just couldn't make it to that match (a 3 v 2 match). This significantly cuts down the number of points a ramp robot can score.
