Changing style of play for worlds?

Is is worth changing your teams/robots/drivers style of play to compete at worlds?
A fellow student inquired the other day about making a ramp so if needed we can get totes from the feeder station. We always get them from the landfill and have been successful doing so. I understand the logic of wanting the opportunity to get from both areas because it offers more for our team, but it may disrupt how other teams work. So many teams work from the feeder station and making a ramp which we might not use often would probably get in their way. Do you think its worth going through the trouble of using some weight from withholding( we are already tight on weight for withholding). Will teams be more attached to us? Not to mention that the ramp would have to be tethered the entire time, resulting in more of a hassle.
Thanks for your help!
