One idea I thought of, but I haven't seen done intentionally would be to pick up a tube and drop it onto of a deployed ramp bot to keep people from climbing up.
Another idea would be to park in front of a deployed rampbot and simply keep their allies from driving up. Sometimes it might be better to take the penalty if it means keeping your opponent from scoring 60 points.

Erm, you can't do that. The
Q&A covered that one even before regionals started. A team can't be forced into a penalty by an opposing team. So while what's done is done, don't expect that to work in Atlanta. Especially against teams that know the rules.
It's a hunch, based on engineering intuition; there are too many hard-to-quantify variables to do any accurate calculations. Looking for some experimental corroboration or refutation. - Ether [more]
