2. How do you fire the gas shocks? (This is the answer I'm really looking for...)
3. Also, what is the angle of the ramps?
4. How do robots get up them? Do they drive onto the incline and you fire the shocks?

To anwser:
1. we have a servo on the top which holds on to two cables. we release the servo and the ramps fall via gravity.
2. at the end of the ramp there is a leaver when switched will release the gas shocks.
3. around 17 degrees
4. the ramps start at an incline. they have to drive up and hit the leaver to activate the ramps.
