I think that the issue with the bumps this year was that they were very wide and hard to step over easily while carrying something.
I guess it depends on how the second level is built. If the 2nd level is shaped like a model runway or something where two people can safely roll the robot to the end and take it off, that would be fine. However if it is a big open space there really isn't anywhere safe for two people to lift a robot.

*EDIT
Unless of course, the GDC provides a ramp in each field - Cyberphil's idea
