Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something -- but robots with bumpers can be as long as 45 inches -- potentially requiring at least 90" of length atop the platform. Even if you assume that the first robot up's frame and front bumper overhang the end of the ramp, there's little chance that'll make up 14 inches of length.

What am I missing?
