I would, personally, say no on the ramp. See, most robots don't have 2x 4-DoF arms with opposable thumbs on the multi-jointed manipulators, with built-in 3D vision sensing to know where to place objects. A human can grab a tote and slap it onto a stack or throw it to another human, who can catch it, with minimal difficulty. FRC robots? Not so much.
