We'll see what the game manual revisors have to say on Tuesday.
No need.

You see, if you leave something on the field that isn't part of a robot, then it is removed from the field before the match--by you, or by the field crew (G8). And if you intentionally detach part of a robot, then you get a G25.

So if you bring a ramp that is part of a robot, it needs to stay attached to the robot no matter where the robot is. If it isn't part of a robot, you'll never be able to use it because it will be removed.
