I believe that 233 and 190 had the first "ramp" style deployment systems.

217, 1114, and a few other teams have now implemented Ramp style deployments since they seem to shave approximately .2-.3 seconds off of the total climb time, if not more.

(56 also had a ramp style deployment, similar to 190's (used a piece of bent EMT as the "ramp" material) and their first event was DC in week 4, so it's hard to tell if their deployment was developed independently or based on 190's or 233's concept. Also, 56 had a more traditional minibot (Tetrix based) from what I could tell.)
