I was trying to answer the original question asked by InfernoX14 and looking at the GDC answer which talked about two chassis. I would certainly agree with you that the team that competed last year w/out a drive base should be able to compete. I could add another sentance: If a team chooses to forego a chassis/drivetrain during their inspection, please be aware that the team will not be permitted to add a chassis/drivetrain in the future.
I was trying make sure that the team would have to assemble something instead of just placing a box of stuff on the floor of the arena. I would not consider ramps that fold out and stay in place a box of stuff.
