Well, we have our ramp designed so that it can easily support a kit-bot frame. We plan to hold 1 robot, while our other team mate either prevents the other team from getting onto their ramp or just scores extra ringers. We also decided that there were going to be many, many ramp bots out there, and that our ramp would only really be useful if our alliance situation was looking grim.
Anyway, we've got the whole ramp almost done, save for a few minor things. It easily supported last year's robot (my avatar), which had a rather narrow wheelbase.
We'll see how everything turns out. Hopefully, most (non-omni) robots will be able to get onto our ramp. I'm sure that if we
do have an omni bot on our team, it would more than likely be able to score very quickly, making it more useful on the field than on our ramp.
