- Angle : Angle of the ramp against the vertical axis. A smaller value makes the ramp steeper.
- Method : Used to select different modes of ramping:
- RampMethod1: goes down at the ramp angle and the moves horizontal to the target point
- RampMethod2: goes horizontal first and then down at the ramp angle to the target point
- RampMethod3: goes down in a zigzag way
