I remember a few matches in 1995 where teams pushed each other off the side of the ramp - which not only caused the loser to tip over, but sometimes they'd actually tumble down the side of the ramp, rolling completely over a few times.
Here's a picture of the ramp in 1995, which incidentally appears to have a tipped over robot next to it. You can't see it well here, but the grey part of the ramp was actually raised up a bit from the red part by a few inches, so it didn't take much to get a robot to roll off the side.
