RampCamper Hall of Fame

[Alex Pelan]

177 prefers the term "bridge apparatus," but the best bridge apparatus we saw in our season would definitely have to be team 365, MOE's. They were only kept off the ramp once during qualifiers, and our alliance had to push them off the ramp during eliminations, and they still managed to shoot a couple in.

The Cheesy Poofs (team 254) take my vote!

real life...at BAE 1276, Kaizen Blitz was a very good 'ramp camper' once they get up there, its like watching the top shooters, and there is not much you can do, since they can unload their hopper pretty quickly...one flaw, if the ramp is blocked, they can't shoot...

[Taylor]

Gotta go with the Wo-Bots here - they were one of the few robots I saw who could proficiently shoot and dump.

254 hands down. Not to mention that if they can't get on the ramp, they're happy to shoot from below.

... and their twin, 968. Plus, if the ramp is blocked, and the floor in front of the goal is blocked, they can dump, too.

So i have to chip my 2 cents in here.

25 - they dominate on top of the ramp. If they are let up thier your done, it doesn't matter what you try to do, before you can react the match is over. And if you do manage to keep them off the ramp they can still beat you. 25's drive team is very effecient and work exteremly well together.

254 - This team can take the match at any time if they are let free for just a split second. You saw what they could do at the pacific northwest regional when they were on the ramp, and they can shoot almost as good off the ramp. Once again a great drive team that are amazing and work well together.

25 didn't shoot from on top of the ramp once this year.

Thank you to everyone who mentioned our robot in this thread. This is exactly what we were going for coming out of our brainstorming session,

but

when I saw the 254/968 robots play my jaw hit the floor. They made the perfect ramp camper/mass scoring robot and they could hit from the field! Great job!

[Brian Mocci]

Teams 254 and 968's robot design was completely amazing from on top of the ramp, the combination of speed and torque to get up on to the ramp so fast and drop all their balls before anyone could even react was unbelievable.

Team 217 wasn't a ramp camper persey but I just wanted to give them credit because in the final match on Einstein team 25 put them on the ramp to keep them from scoring and they just positioned there turret enough to put at least 7 balls in which won them the match. I personally didn't think they were able to shoot on the ramp but they proved me wrong.

The ThunderChickens actually kept that ability a secret from us, too, until it happened. It was a pleasant surprise!

The only one I have seen to do this is 365. A friend was scouting them, and we counted out loud how many went in. MOE had an insane 20 + count each time. It was also very efficient, and very different from the rest.

[JackN]

703 is the strongest ramp scorer that I saw. They use autonomous to get up there and score a lot while up there. 141, 107, 451 are all pretty good on the ramp. There was one team that went on the ramp to score twice at Milwaukee, once in practice and once in QF matches. They did it better than anyone i saw. They shall remain nameless however because I'm sure this team will unleash it sometime at Atlanta to win a match.

[pyroslev]

222. 222 was feared by the volunteers scoring. I recall multiple people counting whenever they were up.


I'm not sure since 435 was not full on the ramp but they were ramp dependent to shoot. If not them, then 365 based on video.
