Staying on top of the ramp if done correctly can be easy, first of all put your weight at the ends and you prevent most of the twisting. Second who says you have to be on the HDPE during the whole match, you just have to be on it at the end to get points. Why are 3 bots attacking it, if anything while the 2 opposing bots are attcking it the ramp-doms alliance partner are killing the opposing teams score.
I would think planting yourself on the wire mesh would also be very risky. You can't stick anything through it, and if transfer too much energy to that wire mesh, you will bend it, resulting in a possible DQ.

Also...if you have a smaller robot with a lot of traction playing king of the hill, how are you going to stop 2 robots running up at the same time on opposite sides of the ramp?
