Re: MERGED: Universal Hanging System/Standardized Partner Suspension

In order to prevent the large cantilever load from a "piggy back" robot, how about the second robot drive under the first suspended robot. Assume the lifted robot can go through the tunnel and therefore could fit under. Since the bumpers are pretty well defined a simple pair of "L" brackets could provide a nest. Then the first robot climbs a little higher lifting both. Both CGs are only a few feet from the tower.
