It is fully legal to push a robot onto the ramp from across the field and hold them there. They didn't want to go somewhere, but you pushed them where you wanted them. I didn't look at the video, and I'm not going to. I will say that if you read the rules, you must inhibit the movement of a robot while in contact with a field element or border. The ramp is a field element, so the question really only boils down to "was movement inhibited?"
