I spy some chain loops in the side towers. My guess is that these have hooks on them which work in conjunction with the pneumatic latches to stack totes, and the claw (typically with container in it) is used to provide downwards stabilizing pressure.

Clever design if so. A lot of the chain conveyor based designs have problems with sagging, but doing it on each side of the tote fixes this.

Still something odd going on in the back. Container grabber, maybe?

Also, that roller intake looks like it's been through a LOT of prototype iterations. I'm guessing that the performance of this will play a huge part in setting this machine apart.

I think you forgot a wheel.

Nice looking machine! No doubt it performs even better than it looks - best of luck! #TeamIFI

you missed the chance to call it Mr. Krabs :(

Good luck, hopefully we see each other at Worlds :P

Mysterious lift structure... is there no chain or belt to move the bin claw from the bottom to the top?

My guess is that the can stabilizer claw is on a passive trolley and moves up the rails as a stack of totes is built under it.

Looks like those weighted decision matrices finally spewed out something that is not "tank drive" for 1114.

I didn't think I'd see the day this would happen. Incredible.

I really hope that's the kiwi drive it looks like.

Whoa, color-coded pneumatics that match the color scheme (red for "pull" and black for "push"). No detail too small. Can't wait to see it in action!

Word on the "street" was that you folks went holonomic.
They werent kidding!
Beautiful robot as always, and I bet it'll perform as such.
