Since it says "parts or multiple mechanisms" which would lead me to believe plural, it would seem that a robot would be allowed to simply drop a ramp at the beginning of the match and let other robots climb up on it at the end. As long as it was only one ramp.

When you say drop, do you mean that a ramp is lowered and still attached to the robot, or allowed to detach from the robot? A ramp could not be intentionally detached.
Also, the manual uses the word "deploy" in a few places, but this doesn't mean "detach". You can "deploy" a ramp if it is still connected to the robot.
