MARS created a rampbot. The ramp is about 37 degrees, but we have skateboard grip tape to help robots up. Even Swamp's (179) heavy robot was able to get up. Deploying it is easy. Ours is spring loaded, you just pull the pin holding it in with pneumatics and it unfolds by itself.

Building rampbots was heavily implied in the rules and video, I'm surprised there aren't more.
