Re: pic: 968 has ramps? Since when????

Those are some very impressive ramps. Having the foresight to be able to remove them that easily is always a good thing during build. I have a couple of questions about them:

1. How do you drop the ramps? It sounds like you have servos which hold the ramps up, do they just release grip of the cables?
2. How do you fire the gas shocks? (This is the answer I'm really looking for...)
3. Also, what is the angle of the ramps?
4. How do robots get up them? Do they drive onto the incline and you fire the shocks?
