This is all that matters, as it would be illegal to climb the ramp if what you say is true.
And at any rate, I think you've entirely misinterpreted rule G17, as seen below.
<G17> ROBOT Orientation - ROBOTs must maintain their vertical orientation with respect to their starting
position throughout the match. ROBOTs may not intentionally tip over onto one of their initially vertical
sides and operate with this side parallel to the ground. If a ROBOT is accidentally or intentionally tipped
over onto its side, it cannot score any balls in any goals from this orientation.
It makes no mention of rocking back and forth, only falling over.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. I hadn't read the rules in a while, but I remember that one, and I thought that you couldn't shift from your initail vertical position at all, even if it was just a little.
