I think very few robots, even in the upper eschelon of competition, took fewer than 10 seconds to commit to and successfully climb atop the ramp at the end of a match. I don't think it's unreasonable to allocate about that time for most robots to able to move from anywhere on the field onto our platforms. Only if it's possible for a robot to turn a row of 5 into 6 is it worth the time to sacrifice the lift and try to score.
