The ramps DO extend out from the legs of the Chute Assembly (pg 163 and pg 166 of the current field drawings), but they are flush with the wall of the loading station (pg 146). If you get in good practice using a team version of the station, you will need to add a wall out at the vertical plane which includes the end of the ramp. And add a sea of balls and the side walls.
