A crude pic


I think that gets my point across? Idk if it is reasonable within the finale config but, hey.

Edit * that pic was a pain, should have done it in paint.
i came up with this and 2 other ideas but, when discussing with other mentors this idea wasn't feasible with the size restraints. also i believe you have to be on the platform anyways so, the question was how to get on the platform, let down the ramps and be able to left both sides with out droping at bot. also they didn't want someone to come and ram into the ramps while lifting. ( it would happen no matter what people say.)
