It's in vertical position when game starts, but then at end game, this 18x18 metal is expanded; its basically now flat with the floor.

A robot can then get on the metal sheet, and the forklift of the lifting bot can raise the robot & the metal sheet to the top of the bot, and then viola.
How do you counter weight the other bot.
