Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
I've seen the idea of a helicopter pop up once or twice, so I just have to say this again:
At the end of a match, the two drive teams on the chopper's alliance who will be picked up turn to one another and yell (in a GOVERNATOR voice): "GET TO ZE CHOPPUR- NOW!!"
The chopper team picks them up and says over a megaphone to the opposing alliance: "ASTA LA VISTA, BABY!"
Now, back to the topic. I won't give away how our team is planning to pick up robots, but suffice to say that we want to passively pick up one to 4"
(i.e. a ramp on top of our 'bot), and then worry about getting that one to 12", because that's more likely than two at 4" (hopefully one will be dealing with spoilers), and it's the same point value.
