Re: [YMTC]: field of view

If the ramps being deployed ever causes a violation of the no wedge rule, then this would be illegal; likewise if they remained in the blue alliance's home zone they would be penalized.

Beyond that I can't see any immediate problems, but I'll say I don't think this would be a very effective strategy. Even if you could get the full 102" (meaning redateam's ramps would have to be less than 1" wide to still fit in the box), redateam still covers only 8.5' of the field, which is less than 1/3 the width of the field. Redateam will only be able to block one team's drivers, and the other two blue robots will most likely be able to move redateam and/or gain numerous penalties for running into the extensions (remember, redateam's extensions out of the starting size receive penalties for high hitting even if they don't initiate the contact).
