A question for teams with a working charging station and a few old bots

Competition Rules/Strategy

I have mentioned this a bit elsewhere, but I have a concussion at the moment, and am not able to completely grasp the mechanics of the charging station.

Anyway, my question is, suppose an alliance has three similarly weighted robots. If two dock (assuming they dock all the way on the platform) will the third be able to get onto the platform? I was considering that maybe we only need a half station to practice with, but perhaps not. We may want to build a full one to be able to work on endgame (and end auto) strategy.

It depends if the station is level if it is they will be if not it will be a lot harder.

Thanks. Yes, that is what I was thinking. It looks as if the kicker board gives a bit of mechanical advantage, but I did not think it would be enough to tilt a level station with two bots on it.

I would want the existing 2 robots to be nearly balanced. Put them at the far end from you and I doubt it would be possible.
