Remember, part of the problem last year for many teams was traction, they'd sit half on the ramp and spin their wheels. Nothing stops a team from putting carpet or a similar material that provides better traction on their robot's ramps. Angle/ground clearance/high centers of gravity issues on the other hand require a reduced angle, which is a bit harder to accomplish.
