The rest of the 2 minutes the other two robots will bash the heck out of anyone who looks like they can score, and then will get on their ramps at the end.

If you don't have equal or better ramps, you're toast, no matter how many tubes you can score.

Well, the way you explain it is that alliance A would put 2 ringers on opposite sides of the rack. Alliance B then can't have a long row. That, is correct, but in the time that it takes Alliance A to put a tube on one side, couldn't Alliance B just place a ringer on the opposite side and thus ruin A's strategy and begin their own row. Not to mention taht for ever tube A puts on, B would have put 2 on because they have 2 good scorers.
