Great recommendation.
I would also recommend an external ramp if you choose not to have one internally built as part of your robot.
We spent $10 buying 1/16" angle alumimun and a thin 1/32" acrylic sheet in making a simple ramp that worked wonders for us this year.
The same spectra cord used for our elevator, we used as our tether and it never got tangled in our wheels for 3 events and counting.
