That's what 330 did. Strategic move, too--it's a lot harder to deploy ramps when there's a tube right there that you have to avoid, thanks to some scoring robot knocking half of them down while trying to acquire a tube.

Every one of our first 2007 qualification rounds where we couldn't do anything but defense & ramps I told the kids "go mess up their home zone". It worked too.
