Thirded. Use springs that are strong enough to knock your ramp over and change the function of your piston to disengage a latch. We're doing something similar, though we're using our ramp lifting motors to disengage the retaining system. The retaining system is still to be defined, but at worst we'll be using highly calibrated fishing line to tie the ramps together and just break it with our ramp motors.
