Re: Ramp bot vs. Arm bot
eh?

i think you have forgotten that a ramp bot can play defense the entire game. i think the ramp bot could even pin a robot (not sure about the rules on this one). so, that negates AT LEAST one opposing robot. likely a good defense robot can entirely shut out one robot (the best one on opposing team) and do some interference on one other...

so an opposing team with effectively 1.5 bots get 6 in a row? on a moving target that has little clearance for a tube? in 2 minutes or so? wow.. that is tough. i hope you have good autonomous mode... oh wait, never mind, the defense bot will just run over there and get in the way...

when you look at it from a whole, i think the best TEAM is to have 2 arms and 1 ramp bot. you won't win every match, but on the average you'll likely do well.
