This is mere speculation, but common sense would dictate that an opposing team trying to drive up your ramp while in your home zone would likely be interpreted as a violation of <G35>:

A ROBOT may not attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on an opposing ALLIANCE (doing so will be interpreted as an attempt to damage an opposing robot, and may be penalized as such).
If an opponent deliberately tried to climb you while stationary, I would expect you not to be penalized, and that the opponent might even receive a penalty or DQ. (Eric, I know that this unfortunately was not always the case, particularly for your team in 2005.)
