Try putting the other bot at the bottom of the ramp sideways with you above them. If the other bot is omni wheeled or something like that you may need to chock the wheels.
Secondly, what if they have a low bumper and you have a high or visa verse. Can you still push them? Remember they are tilted and you are flat. I haven't really taken a firm look at this yet, so the answer may be, obviously yes.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it...

Unfortunately we didn't have two full weight robots, but it was pretty straightforward once the drivers started communicating constantly through the procedure
