it's that most teams put heavy gears and chains and sprockets 5 feet high on their robot( for the shooter) and then when they are going up the ramp that weight is almost horizontal to the ground and then gravity does the rest
also when they ride up a ball they are on a similar angle as when they are going on the ramp so that can cause them to tip over

I am really glad that FIRST gives teams the choice to use either students or adults in this role. - dtengineering [more]
