Rules will say

I've done a lot of reading of the rules as coach for T190..

That, I would say, is a bit clouded. Basically, no robot can block/hinder another's 'progression' once they have touched the ramp (i.e. the TOP surface of the ramp)

So, technically, if you were sitting on the ramp, that is your ramp and you are in control.. and since being on the ramp and even balancing w/o goals is worth points @ BCII, then if they tried to get on the ramp, they would be hindering your progress.

My interpretation of the rules: if you're touching the top surface, it's your ramp- and those folks will have to find another method to get across..

(just remember: I'm on the team for 190, not BattleCry staff.. so the things I say aren't final or anything.. just offering my interpretation of the rules )
