This potential rule violation is another reason why we didn't pursue the idea. I think it would be considered 'attaching to' the field element, but I may be wrong. Depending on how the ramp/robot interacted I could also see great potential for playing field damage too.

Robots may not grab, grasp, grapple, or attach to any Arena structure. Robots may not push or react against the top of the Fender. (Robots may push or react against any element of the Arena that is not protected by another rule.)
Violation: Foul
