Do the rules permit me to have our robot release one end of an attached ramp allowing it to drop to the floor by gravity using a means of dampening the fall, but not using a motor to lower the end of the ramp?

Re: ramp release system
Yes. Under Rule <R02> this would be utilizing a change in the altitude of the ROBOT center of gravity, and would be an acceptable deployment method. Note that this must be done in a safe manner (Rule <S01>) and must be controlled so that it does not damage the field (Rule <G34>).
Dropping Platform
wrt rule <S01> Does the description "uncontrolled motion" include dropping platforms to lift our allies while entirely in the endzone?

See prior answer.
Free-fall ramp
Are robots allowed to use free-fall ramps or use ramps that deploy with only the help of gravity, as long as no other robots or field pieces are damaged in the process?
