Re: Outside the box defense

i certainly dont intend to try that ramp deployinjg idea, it seems unfair anyway. but the tube one is good, even if unintentional

i dont think any penalty can be incurred for knocking down the tubes, most robots can pick up off the floor better anyway.

putting a ringer on top of a robot is not as good, cause its active defense, if you can have the area clogged with tubes you dont have to be there to prevent ramping: aka you can be scoring more. also ringers are really light so the robot could just push it away.
