Re: Ramp crashing down
Just think of it as following the same rules as "flopping" bots, only instead of an entire robot flopping, it's just a mechanism. It may be painful to hear, but as long as you're not breaking field elements (or opposing robots, or people), crashing mechanisms are ok. As long as you follow the rules under "Robot actions" (G33-41) you should be fine.
If its still a concern for your team, gas springs or other dampening mechanisms may and should be used.
