It is thus impossible without thrusters to get all three robots off the ground. It is highly improbable that even two will get off the ground, although it is indeed possible. The only way you could get two robots off the ground would be to have both drop ramps and move to the other's ramp. This would not work for two reasons.

First, the ramps deployed would still count as part of the robot, so the lowest point of both robots would be touching the ground, so neither of them would be scored. Second, even if you deployed some sort of ramp, you would be intentionally detaching parts, which is a penalty. I think it goes against the spirit of FIRST to suffer penalties on purpose. (Even though getting another robot off the ground high enough could push your alliance into net positive points)
