The non passive one is obviously better but would require a tether. My question is would the passive one require a tether too or would it just have to fit in transport configuration. Also does the ramp count towards total weight of the robot.
IF it does count towards the weight I would probably make a fully bent poly design.

Is it a robot part? Then it counts towards weight.
Is it a robot part? Then you can't intentionally detach it (it needs to be tethered)
