Re: Createing a platform for bonus points...

consider having more than one device that latches the ramp in the stowed position....if you need to press two separate buttons to make it deploy, and there are two different mechanical things that need to happen for it to deploy, then it's not as likely for a software glitch or OE (operator error) to cause problems.

is the extra weight/complexity worth it?
