Just a clarification for others, our teams 2013 robot was just a climber so it had no wheels to drive with. Instead we opted to put a giant block of closed cell foam on the bottom just incase it fell. Lucky for us it only fell twice, both before season.
There have been lots of lightweight ramp designs posted over the season, a simple search would yield most of them.
