Re: Team trailer height
Having a tall trailer is very helpful. We have a trailer that isn't tall enough for some of our robots and it is a absolute pain to get them in and out because we have to tilt them in and out. It takes at least 2 people and to be safe you should really have 3 people.

Also having a door that hinges at the bottom and allows the door to be used as a ramp is a great idea. Utilizing simple machines is always a great idea.
