If it requires 2 robots to earn 2 points, yet 2 robots can get 4 points if they both hang, why would you ever attempt the former?

So its a 3 robot team, one has no suspension system, one has the ramp but no suspension system, and the other can hang. If the 2nd robot were to deploy the ramp and let the 1st robot climb onto the tower, and the 3rd robot were to hang, then you would get 4 bonus points.
However, if the 2nd robot DID NOT have a ramp, the 1st robot has no way of getting onto the platform, therefore the team would only get 2 points from the 3rd robot hanging.
The problem with your idea is that you are assuming all 3 robots can hang, and that is not the case in most instances.
