Hey there, I'm from team 339 "Kilroy" and am excited to give your team a massive thanks for not only trying out our ramp, but successfully climbing it! It seems like every time we found a team who was willing to try our ramp, they broke down somewhere. For a while I was beginning to worry that our ramp was cursed or something - lots of people
wanted to try, but they all went through some horrid robot or field failure before finally getting the opportunity to.
All of that said, you are indeed the first to climb our ramp specifically and at the two regional competitions I went to (Washington DC and Virginia) I didn't see this sort of strategy ever work for other teams, so we may perhaps have a first? I'd really like to hear some confirmation on this. On the bus ride home my entire team was geeking out about that round and wanted desperately to get in contact with you guys to say thanks for putting our hard work to use. You guys were excellent teammates! We're still trying to collect photos from the event and I'll post once I can find a good one with our two robots in there.
