Super idea!

I noticed many robots having trouble with getting up the ramps and staying on...oops! Anyhow... driving onto a platform then lifting it with the bot(s) seems to be the best way to go.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Here is a video of the "Buzzer" lift. I messed up my video..it's actually match 27, not match 38...er well you get the point I hope.
