Re: Should FIRST address "ramp bots"?
How is building a robot with ramps on the side any different than building a robot with 6 motors on the drivetrain? I've seen both types used to tip over other robots (in fact, I think I've seen more tipping done by robots without ramps, because those with ramps are usually playing offense, not defense).
For those teams who prefer to play offensively by manipulating the game pieces, ramps are one of the few protective measures they have against teams who prefer to play defensively and constantly push everyone around. |
