Micheal picked a good design, now that its finished
We can also pick up a box in any orientation, and stack. In fact, our grabbers rotate so the boxes are either lid up or lid down depending on how we pick up the box. We don't have to be perfectly aligned with the box to pick it up. The problem arose, as Jason said, when there are large amounts of boxes in our zone, for it is impossible to get to an individual box without scattering all the other boxes. Scattering all the boxes just to grab one could work against a stacker, for some of the scattered boxes will settle in a no score zone and be valueless. Stacking may work if done another way, however, but that is for me to know and others to discover..
