So do the wheels? under the wood come closer to the robot thus lifting the wood up?

And we're planning on lifting robots: the test pilot with the welding mask weighs around 150, which is a bit more than maximum weight for one robot.

i predict tipping of many many robots
its cool and all but im skeptable about the fact that who evers sitting on it if close to the top of the robot not the edge . sometimes the robots renter of gravity can be on edge of the elvator resulting in total tipping
cool though
edit: do you guys have something on the bottom of the elevator? something black? cant tell
do u guys have a pic of the bottom of the elevator?

My guess is that under that platform is a jack set up. Seeing as how there is no lifting mechanism on the robot and a pneumatic set up is sitting off to the left. You can see an automotive jack here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nascarphx31.jpg
Or you can see one in motion if you watch this video http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-use-a-car-jack at around 4:00 minute mark.
Seems like a tried and true method of lifting heavy objects. Good luck guys, that looks pretty cool.
