Re: Has ramps been a key thing for sucess?

I agree with the aforementioned strategy of using clever and precise ringer placement in a form of "offensive defense" to impede the opposing alliance from creating large lift-killing rows. However, if your alliance teammates are defended well and are prevented from getting on your panels/ramps as ours were (granted we lift 15" in 1.5 seconds; the opponents played spectacular defense) then that strategy can be defeated as ours was.

And there are robots out there, that if you leave them for 15 to get on panels/ramps can score enough to do serious damage. I witnessed Beach 'Bot (team 330) place 3 rings in the final 15 seconds to extend a row point total by a factor of 8. That being said even leaving such a robot alone with three ringers aready on the rack can mean 64 points or more aka death to ramps.
