Timothy pointed out that in many construction applications, having some sort of
scaffolding or elevator which the robots will be able to traverse to move
between levels of an in-progress structure is common. This is not something I've
ever seen in the literature, and so would be a novel research direction. It
would also mean that you would not need ramp blocks at all, and that structure
specifications would not require traversability checking.
Possible directions with this:
How many simultaneous elevators available for use? i.e., will robots have to
wait to go up or down?
How long to transport between floors? Is it dependent on the distance?
