I would have to guess that this is an arm/elevator design where the manipulator is raised up and down by the actuators on the back. I'm guessing that the arm can lean forward to allow for a "parking space" on the back of the robot. I'm also willing to bet that the ramps were removed to make weight

Close, but not right at all. The manipulator is raised by a mechanism that isn't visible. The arm doesn't lean... at least not in the sense that you think. And there were never ramps... we make weight by about 10 pounds.
Edit: Also, the armor for the cameras isn't installed in that picture, but will be present on the final bot.
