I wanted to mention real quick the URL for PlastiDip. We found some amazing paints from them that really made for some cool robot designs.

Very cool robot design. I too am a huge fan of plastidip. This is the first time I've noticed a team using it.

Is there a drop in the omni wheels?

Re: pic: Panthrobotics Presents Ascendance
 

If I recall correctly, grasshopper is a variant of butterfly/octanum. Usually only the omnis or only the traction wheels contact the floor at any given time.

What's the pitch between the hooks (though ledges or mantles might be a better description)? Obviously a bit larger than 12", but probably not too much larger to speed up disengaging from a stack of totes.

Hmmm.. If you run the conveyors up so high that the hooks pull out of the way, I suppose you could still make stacks taller than 4 totes if those shelves are short enough to feet between the extended stacking tabs on the side of the totes. That would certainly make for a secure carry of single totes on each hook, as well.

See you at Bayou!

The way grasshopper works is that there is a drop in the omni wheels and uses the drop/tilt when actuating the traction wheels to raise the omni wheels off the ground.

Then I recalled correctly.
