Re: Ramps/Climbing the Platform

We're considering such a strategy. Currently, we are looking into an effective way to climb onto the platform and from there how to deploy ramps with the goal of having one robot drive on top of us and the other lifted by raising the ramp (winch). Tipping over during the lifting of the second alliance partner is another concern in addition to just getting there and then successfully deploying ramps.

Would anyone with experience from 2007 care to chime in with advice on lifting mechanisms for raising a ramp?
