However, in the CAD drawings for the ramp, FIRST says to use a 48" by 10" piece of plywood, which would mean the ramp is only 10 inches long, and the angle at which the ramp is elevated is much more than 13.5 degrees.

Would this be THAT much of a problem with building the field, as there is the difference with wood/steel with friction, etc? There have (at least I think) always been differences in the competition field and the team practice fields.
