And in the same match in Boston:
- Without "Grabbing", a team slid part of their gripper under the ramp and tried to flip the ramp up, knowing the other team only had one chance to deploy it.
As far as the non-"grabbing" of the Queen's ramp in that match, I still believe that intentional entanglement should have been called. If not that, then at least intentional outside the bumper zone contact. The arm in question was put underneath the ramp and attempted to lift/push the ramp. I did not like the call on this; however, I think it really didn't play much into the results of the match, just wasting the time of the offending robot.


As far as interesting strategy, some on our team though of pushing any early deploying one-sided ramps ramp-first to the end of the home zone. If the ramp and platforms are on the sides of the robot and there is no swerve/holonomic/meccanum drive, the robot cannot reposition without either raising the lift mechanism or risking 72" penalties.
