I guess those huge muffin fans will come in handy then

All humor aside, looks like an interesting robot to play with. Lots of strategy possibilities, many of which have already been discussed.

Just to play devil's advocate though, lets say you park in your home zone, and are ready to drop your ramp, and a robot parks so that you'd have to smash them before you could lower your ramp. i'd do it in a second. Sure, i get 30 pts in penalties, but to shut down a 60 pt threat, its worth it.

Just something to consider (and i'm confident that you have already thought about it)
