Even though the robot is designed to be climbed, I don't think there's a way around the "deliberate" wording there. Unless there's a rule change, it seems to me that you would only be able to ramp up allied robots.
Still very useful for your alliance bridge, but maybe not as helpful as I'd originally hoped for getting the coopertition bonus in qualifications.

We're working on a somewhat similar design, so I pinged the Q&A with a question about that. The answer was that G27 is in force no matter what, even if you want another robot on you for coopertition purposes.
Also, hats off to 179 for that impressively bold and integrated design. We're planning on a parking platform on our robot and using the bridge as a ramp onto our bot. Our main argument in favor of it was that it'd be valuable in the elims, and it only cost us weight for a parking surface and slightly beefier wedge. We weren't nearly confident enough in the value to build our entire bot around it.
