So in a worst case scenario, just make it so that your robot can make it that far up a ramp and then turn a little sideways so that they don't roll back down. Viola!
However, as seen last year, your robot must be able to sustain its final position for up to 30 seconds or more while scoring takes place. Therefore, if you are not over the apex of the ramp, you will fall off and you most likely will not receive the points. But, this is probably Q&A material.
