Re: Suspending

Ramps dont suspend bots, and from what I have seen, they dont work well. They have two issues:
1. Both of the rampbots at FLR were only designed to put the robot on the platform, so they are only "guaranteed" 2 points.
2. It is VERY VERY hard to get onto these ramps. You must drive completely straight, and not let a whell(or tread) off the ramp. It looks easy, but it really isnt, especially when you are 15 feet away.

The two bots who had ramps, when they did deploy, got no bonus points scored.
