That's exactly how it works. If you're loading one robot only, you simply drive past the center point, and down the ramp comes to 12 inches. If you're loading two, you simply drive up halfway, wait for the robot behind you to get on, and you drive on together. Simple, reliable, and easy to use!

Plus we won't need teams to sign a waiver releasing us from robot liability before they get onto the thing!
