I can see it while trying to get picked for finals "Team xxxx: With a 14 degree ramp that ANYONE can use".

With that trigonometry you will raise the robot 11.6". Remember the other option is to only raise them 4". One robot on each side raised 4 inches is the same as being able to raise one robot 12". Based on the difficulty the past robots had at getting up that high it might be a safer strategy to rely on two robots getting up a 16" ramp to achieve 4" at a 14 degree incline. A 4" step might not even need a ramp with many robots.
