Hypothetical Situation - Stairs

some people interpret the game hint Little Eva - locomotion - Robotic Locomotion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_locomotion

The point of this is not to discus the game hint, there are 500 other posts about that. This is a fun mental exercise that can challenge us for the next week.

I assume that for the sake of rookies the kit drive-train would have to be able to play the game so perhaps a bonus obstacle close to the driver station such as the ramp in 06.

So here is my Hypothetical Situation:

4 steps each 6 inches high, spaced 6 inches apart. At the top of the stairs there is a platform 2 feet tall, 3 feet wide, 8 feet long. At the end of the match each robot on the platform scores 50 points.

don't actually build a robot just describe you strategy and how you would attempt to mechanically solve this challenge.
