I THINK...... ITS THE ONLY THING I CAN COME UP WITH!!!  |
The ramp has always had two parts - a fixed part outside the field and a moving part that levered down onto the field for robot access.

The edge of the field was always a piece of aluminum angle, 3x3 or 4x4 and about 1/4" or 3/8" thick. It is cut down a little bit at the gate location, as shown in the hint.
