We came up with the ramp idea early on in our design process, and were all set to build it when we heard that it was NOT possible. We scrambled to find a new solution, only to find out that it IS allowed now.

I think that a ramp is a simple solution, and can help out any team, rookie or veteran. It may not be the most complex solution, but coupled with a robust grabbing system, it can be a very effective solution.
