Quote:

Why not simply turn your robot so that it's at an angle or even facing sideways on the ramp? Assuming you're not using wheels that swivel, it should work and be easier to implement than brakes.

Because that takes time, little fo which should be exerted on getting onto the ramp if you decide to do it. the less time you take on the ramp the more time you have to score.
