There was no rule change regarding ramps and lifts. Each 'bot over 4" gets 15 points and each 'bot over 12" gets 30 points. We never planned to change that rule. (that's why you could not find any information about it)

I did hear a silly rumor a few weeks ago that freaked people out on this, but there is no rule change regarding ramps.

The biggest rule change for IRI is that scoring a Keeper in Autonomous is worth more: 15 points. This was announced 2 months ago. Each individual Keeper will give that team's alliance a 15 point bonus. Therefore, the maximum Keeper bonus 1 alliance could get is 45 points (if they scored all 3, of course).
