Fair Enough. Now that we've competed in some mock competitions and I've seen the stack tumble down from the platform, I am inclined to agree even more.

Before that point, I thought it to be a more random event; bins landing right-side-up. It is obviously not a common thing.

It seems like many that made StackerBots are expecting more bins to be right-side-up. Since the majority do land on their sides, it seems like that is how they should have planned on handling them.

What I am trying to say now is this; If you can only design the robot to be able to handle bins in ONE orientation, it should be to handle them when they are on their sides.

Balls, last year's pick up item, was a walk in the park compared to these bins. I have a lot of respect for the teams that went for stacker bots.
