I want to cry.. this is very nice.

How do you deploy your ramps? Is that "skin" perforated aluminum?

The ramps are deployed by a set of 4 pneumatic pistons (2 inch stroke, I believe) mounted on the uprights for our arm. Two deploy the front ramp sections, which swing out and pull out our legs via steel cable. Then the second pair allow the platform sections to drop down into position.
Yes, the skin is .032 perforated aluminum, airbrushed by a first year team mentor and several students.
