With some more work we can add a chute to get a gear from the human at the wall.

I would suspect that it's just faster to let the HP drop the gear on the floor for you. I think we won't be doing gear pickup, but if we were, i'd only get from the floor, and I'd do the picking up while already driving back to the airship.
