I agree. I'm pretty sure that at least some teams will try and do both things, and end up doing neither of them particularly well. That is part of the reason why we're not building a ramp. We decided to go a modification of our drive train from last year and a grabber that can score on all goals. The other reason we're not going for a ramp is how we see the alliance selection going. My theory is that alliance captains will be the teams that can score consistently, fast, and on at least two different goals. They will pick a team that can score in autonomous (and if they can only score on two, that can score on the one they can't) to complement them. I forsee the second pick of each alliance captain to be a low scoring, defense/ramp robot.
Just my 2 cents.
