i think that you are looking at the problem with the wrong perspective. here is how you gain the platform.
1. accelerate the robot to full speed.
2. at the moment that you reach the ramp, reverse motor power.
3. most robots will, at this point, topple forward onto the platform.
4. if robot momentum was not enough to remove everything from the carpet, then an alliance partner can scoot you up the ramp.
when i first heard this proposed, i laughed. but with a shock absorbing material on the front of the robot, it cushions the fall and helps to stick the robot to the ramp.
