My week-old QA interpretation was that anything you want can touch the floor, so long as it does not provide sufficient drag or thrust to affect the low-friction dynamic. If you coated the floor-contacting portion of your ramp with rover-wheel material, then it would certainly not provide any traction or braking beyond what you could expect with the wheels.
edit: I can't find the QA response that I had justified that in my mind with, ignore me until I find it.

Here's the QA response, which gives a pretty broad ruling:

1. Other parts of the Robot may contact the floor, as long as the part does not provide any traction for the Robot.
