In this 2 scorer + rampbot scenario, you are presuming, correct, that the rampbot (whomever it is) would have a strong/fast enough drivetrain to really mess with the opposing alliance during the 1:45 it isn't doing its ramp thang, correct? A ramp-only bot without defense is like Dean Kamen without denim. We're not presuming the presence of superior lifts during the last bit of the match can overcome a shortage of defensive prowess the other 1:45 (plus any defensive auto modes that may be programmed)?
