[I'm ignoring the semi-side topic in this thread, as it's been discussed to death elsewhere.]
Here's my philosophy on this subject. Three (and occasionally four) teams win a regional. That alliance needs to be able to work well together. If one of those partners can't climb a 12" ramp, that's a disadvantage to the alliance. But if they can climb a 4" ramp, then perhaps drafting a 4" ramp robot is the best thing.
That said, a 4" ramp robot may be well-served to have some other functionality, either in defense, offense, or some other nifty trick we haven't thought of yet.
