If it really comes down to this i guess ramp bots have a huge advantage.

Ramp bots have a TREMENDOUS advantage. The scores at BAE were lower than most people forecast. One of our team's engineers created a matrix and discovered that something like 60% of all possible match scores would be decided by 15 points or less.
A lot of teams didn't utilize ramps for reasons I still can't figure out. Over 90% of the matches at BAE would have been won if the robots had just been on the defensive the entire match and then mounted the ramps at the end. It's that simple.
If your team can block a robot from scoring and then climb a ramp of an alliance partner, you can win.
