As for using a ramp to put another robot in a given position being simpler and easier, witness 2007 and the many crashes from elevating mechanisms. For some reason, I can't find any pictures of 201 from that year on TBA or CD, so I don't know if they tried the "simple and easy" task of elevating another robot or not.
