OK, I see the outline of the linkage under the ramps in the one view. Groovy.

I was wondering, what would happen if only one robot could climb up onto your ramps (say, your other partner was broken/disabled during a match)? Do you have the stability to lift one robot while the other side is empty, or is that an impossibility?

The four bar linkages lower to the floor and react against it while lifting other robots. Their rotation into place and lifting mechanisms are all operated independently. Our frame only need absord the horizontal force of the gas spring (I think) -- which amounts to about 50 lbs. on each side.
