we thought about the best way to pick up robots and our wheel orientation, and we came up with just being able to park and have the others drive on us.

As stated in the post above yours, they are going to have outriggers to stabilize the robot.

pretty cool design, you should try to get some video of that in action

We tested it with about 120lbs, and it lifted marvelously. Judging by how it was able to lift that amount, we don't forsee any problems with robots that will approach 150lbs with the battery, bumpers etc...

ANOTHER VIDEO SOON TO COME
