this is what our ramp folks are building, usign a gas spring to lift and deploy the ramp (it also cushions the fall, due to careful spring placement), with a small pneumatic cylinder to securely lock the ramp in the stowed position.

Hopefully it will all be built by the end of the week and we can make it work

the ramp surfaces are done, and the supports and such are mostly designed and ready to build.
