There is no 'step', really. There're deployable ramps on the front and side of each lift for access. In any case, it's about 2" high, so even it were a vertical step, most robots ought to be able to get up with little trouble.

the teams that drive the long way (38") will not ba able to fit on that ramp though? and if you are relying on them turning they may fall off. i could be looking at this wrong so please help me to better understand your very nice design.
The platforms are 38" x 45" and will accomodate robots of nearly all orientations. They're designed to require a minimum of alignment to function correctly, as we feel strongly that ~75% of all teams will not be able to drive their robot with the accuracy required to line up to ramps. Thus, small deployable ramps on two (or maybe even all three) sides of our lifts mean that teams need only be able to maneuver their robot into an area of about 12 square feet.
