I agree that it likely wont win Regionals, and if it does, it will be few times and far between, but by Championships I suspect that there will be enough refined scoring robots that the double ramp isn't so much the "guaranteed win".

But the other team's going to have refined bots too. Before you can even think about getting around to score on the other side of the rack, they've put up a possible keeper or two and scored who knows how many ringers. They'll likely have a ringer on before you can get there just for defense. Then to score on the other side, your defense has to force the other teams away from the rack far enough that your team can score.
The only thing to really enable high scoring rows is either playing insane defense against poorly-matched bots (possible -- 1885 penned in all 3 teams one match enabling 116 to make a row of 7 on their own), or playing against robots that cannot score on the same levels as you, and they don't defend the rack from you.
