There are ways to help robots get on a relatively narrow ramp....cut out some paper doll ramps, play with them, see how they could be manipulated to make them do what you want.

my intent (though I didn't make it as clear as I should) was that if you had a plain ramp exactly that size, with no extra assistance devices (such as a funnel shape to help guide robots in) it would be extremely hard, especially in the heat of battle

Yes, I understood your intent, you made a very good point....I was trying to help others who might be reading this to find ways to deal with the problem you brought up.
