Re: Has ramps been a key thing for sucess?

Ya, we were able to place 2-3 ringers consistently over the course of the qualifying rounds and elimination matches, we would participate out in the field fo the first minute then return to the home zone to deploy our panels then activate the gas spings to lift the panels with about 5 seconds left.

In the elimination rounds, we realized that our aforementioned strategy was way too conservative and decided to return to the home zone with only about 30 seconds left; doing so we could place 3-4 ringers every time.

Still, as i said before, that startegy was still defeated by a very solid alliance of 330 696 and 835 (1216 too) - great job guys.
