Regardless, stable and passive (not moving once deployed), gently-sloped ramps with a good-sized platform at the top of each (each ally gets a private one) is not the same as a a lifting bot on my scouting sheets.

The only difference between lifts and ramps in this poll, is in my opinion, one of word choice. The separate option for a ramp is for a robot with no arm, the separate option for an arm is for a robot with no ramp, and the other two options are for hybrid ramp/lift and scoring robots.
