Seems like a bold strategy. What if there's a robot that isn't wide config. How do they park on you? I'm assuming there are "base expansions", "ramps", "platforms", or "lifts"that are not shown, but i still am curious. Also, does this design have the capability to climb a moderate ramp? (approx 20 degrees).

Looks like a good ramp bot. Thanks for showing people that ramp bots are a solid option.
