If you hold the row of 6 till the end(fight the spoilers) then you have a net gain of 4 pts over 2 lifted robots of the opposing alliance!

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.

You can only pin for 10 sec, and this year I believe they are going to be very aggressive on pushing an shoving penalties.
In the beginning I also believed that the clearance is going to a challenge but when you consider that fact that the ringer is flexible 30 degrees offset hanging is not going to be terribly difficult...
