There is such a negative feeling in here toward rampdoms. True they do very little directly during the match. They prevent alot of things from happening though. For the most part they prevent bots and bins from going over the ramp. Unless they have a trick up there sleave most bin-huggers can't get over/under the bar while they have bins so they need to get over the ramp well they can't very well do that with a rampdom on it. Its easy just to push crates over the ramp but thats impossible with a rampdom on it as well. So teams have to move crates only by getting them over the bar. There are a few non-lowriding stackers that willbe effectively trapped by the rampdoms, these will most likely be weeded out by the finals. Now if it was 2 stackers on a rampdom then the 2 stackers would win. However the rampdoms alliance partner can play a very easy game. They can selectively allow how many crates move over the bar and what the stack looks like on the opping side. If the plan is to control the score the a rampdom is a very useful tool.

As for dethrowing a rampdom I highly doubt the well built ones will get pushed off. I won't repeat the arguements for why you can't dethrown a good rampdom because thats been beaten to death about 50 times.

Before anyone tears me apart I'll concede that a bot that can carry a stack of 6 over the bar, WITHOUT letting go then placeing and gaurding that stack until the end could counter a rampdom. That relies on the rampdom alliance member not clearing out the human player bins though.

The rampdom isn't the endall answer but its a very powerful tool that paired with a fast/strong lowriding stacker will eventually win.
