An that was/is our original goal. We were hoping to piggyback onto the ramp with a teammate it's not like two can use the lowering device and we imagine most teams will only do two robots per bridge (usually). We will work on it after bag and tag and add it afterwards. We'll do a nice engineering study on maximizing force and minimizing weight since we're about 10lbs shy of 120.
