[Robodock] Container Loading

Last night the V1 barrel, Inchworm in pieces, and Shockwave Cannon were being loaded into the 40ft container to Amsterdam - all 40,000lbs of 'obnoxious cargo'!

It's going to be a tight fit and this blog post is for the benefit of the crew so they can reverse the process on the other side!

In order to lift the forks high enough (so our other crap can fit) some front plate part of the forklift had to be removed so it can go higher. It's entirely possible the forklift in Amsterdam will be different so people will most likely
improvise!
