Especially early on in the season, I start out assuming no one knows how to drive on flat ground, let alone up a ramp. That doesn't even factor in the actual ability of the robot to drive straight in the first place. Adding extra insurance to guard against robots "falling off the cliff" only helps give confidence to the inexperienced and increase the chances of success. I'd rather have a robot get caught on the rails than falling off the edge and damaging themselves (or falling into a critical area of our robot and damaging us).
