Team 115 actually went ontop of it on the practice field though and saw that it was possible but a little hard to implement on the field.

I liked the idea of this though

675 did deploy their ramp during matches at least twice (three times, I believe). I'm pretty sure I missed one time while I was in the pit, but I watched them deploy it for GRT (192). 192 successfully climbed the ramp, but when time expired, one of their wheels had fallen between the edge of the ramp and the platform. Since it was below the plane of the platform, they were not awarded a bonus. The last time 675 deployed the ramp was for my team, 3129, in our second-to-last qualification match (Match #74). We were about halfway up it when it buckled. I told them afterward that we were sorry for breaking it, but they said it wasn't our fault and they just needed to adjust a suspension cable.

I wish we could have climbed it, though! Oh well, it was pretty exciting anyway.
