One design being drawn out right now for our team is a 4-bar mechanism on each side of the robot, starting out collapsed. then, you could say the vertical legs, will be pushed upwards each by 2 2in bore 8 in stroke cylinders. Its more promising than a ramp because it gives more space for the arm than an accordian ramp design, A drawing can give you a better picture as to why, but i do not have one at the moment.
