Our team come up with an to your answer your question there is 2 ways to lift 2 robots off the ground at the same time. One have a forklift on each side of ur bot and lift bots at the same team and hope they weigh the same and ur Center Of Gravity is to much to one side or the other. The other way is wat we are going to try. Have a lift strong enough to lift a bot on the front and kind of like a roll back ramp on the back. get one team to drive up on the bak and use them as a counter balance to lifting the other. The only bad things about these ideas is that you are relying on your teammates to be able to finish the round and that they will be strong enough to climb the ramps. If we figure out how to solve these problems or if u guys and gals got any ideas we will be welcome to hear them.
