if you really want to know how to win here what can help you out:1st: make sure you have some type of stragie
2nd:it is all ways a good idea to have a good offence and defence
3rd:if your allince is getting beat dont give up throw a spoiler out into the feild and put it on the allinces area were they can get the most points.
5th: make sure your ally dosen't throw a ringer on your robots arm ( happen to us a regional)
6th: if you got time deploy your ramp at least 15 seconds before time is up( this give your ally a chance to get up the ramp)

At the VCU Regional, it seemed that all the best alliances had 1-2 scoring bots, at least 1 bot defending, and 1 bot capable of picking up 2 bots over 12" on the ramps.

By dropping the ramps early (30-45 seconds till end), most matches could be won just from the points of 1 bot getting up.
