We mentioned before a pentagonal ramp. Well I just woke up in the middle of the night and thought of this... if there is a pentagon shaped ramp, the field would not be entirely symetric. that may or may not matter but the fields usually had strong symetry to them. both on the red or blue side, and on the left and right. i was also considering the size of a robust pentagon ramp and what kind of effect it may have on cramping the field. it could be done, but im not sure. After all the 2003 ramp took up a large portion of the feild then and that was only 2 sides! think of how large a 5 sided ramp would be? yes the field is larger, but is it THAT much larger? i dunno... anyone elses thoughts?
Good point. But if the ramp has FOUR sides and ONE flat top (like a plateau), doesn't that mean that there is room for FIVE robots? This would work better with the symmetry of the field. The top spot would of course be worth the most points. The ramp would take up a lot of room on the field, no matter what it's shape is. Think like these trucated pyramids, except less steep:
