Re: Has ramps been a key thing for sucess?

This years game is a game played mainly in two different ways. 537 has been to a regional that played both styles of gameplay. At wisconsin there were a ton of good rampbots, and very few bots that could score fast, so if you couldnt ramp you were screwed, tubes were basically a tiebreaker. At buckeye there was tons of tube scoring, but ramps were still important. 537, 494, and 70 ran out of tubes in the back putting up 78 points and a sea of red on the rack, however the blue alliance with their 20 points on the rack and ramps were able to beat us by 2 points in semis. Either way ramps are an important aspect to any winning alliance, as just a few strategically placed tubes can eliminate the option for a high scoring alliance to get a row of 7 or 8.
