If all robots can be designed to climb a 30 deg ramp... then they could just drive over the robot using 14in ramp extensions and then you don't require the use of a bridge to mount. This would have to be a very low profile specilized robot.
See the rule updates, all robots must be touching the ramp to be supported by the ramp. So now you just have to build a robot that can lift itself high enough to allow a robot to fit underneath. Maybe some team collaboration is needed.
