It was an hypothetical. Branch it any way you want. But no I don't think using a third robot as a only ramp anchor and nothing else is inspiring. Not to suggest that any team has done or going to do that.

I suspect that the time you (hopefully we) get to Einstein the winning alliances are going to have to depend on all their robots functioning together.
