I think the pictures on the rtlToronto site are great and I plan to build
the ladder exactly as depicted (16 rungs, every 6 inches, starting 3 inches
in from one end of the 2x4). I suggest the height of the legs be approx 24
inches.
Padding???…Are you a train guy?

This would make it easier to place and start robots, to catch them if they fall, plus would give everyone around a better view. (...)
