I was told y'all need something like 8 people to reset them. How do you get the machine off the field at the end of a match and how do you reset it?

They're a box with an arm inside. From what I've seen during reset, it looks like 2 gas springs per lift, on opposite corners. Might be more. To get the bot off the field, they fold up the ramps somehow first without collapsing the springs.
