Not if they have a firm hold. Track systems are good on top of the ramp and on the carpet. The ramp slopes however poses a problem. One of the reasons for having a track drive is for more points of contact. At the top and the bottom of the ramp you lose the advantage contact points, and you are no different than a four wheel drive robot. So, if a robot on top has a firm hold close to the edge of the ramp, odds are your tracks are no advantage. Note: the center idle wheel could also cause you to teeter at the top.
