If you take a look at our robot, it's got a VERY simple mechanism for getting SIDEWAYS boxes rightside-up. It's slightly more work to do from the upside-down position, and our stacker is not designed for lifting upside-down boxes, so we're intending on targetting only those that are sideways, unless there are too many upside-down.
We had to scrap our original design due to the weight of our other components, so this was our best choice of re-design of our stacking module.
But then again, that's only if we're choosing to stack
I'm so pleased to see so many stacker robots under 14" tall. I'm really looking forward to our first regional, to see how many different designs were implemented to perform the same tasks that we do. This will help us in designing in future years. If you see someone with a silver #1089 jersey peering into your pit, please don't beat them with a stick... we're just trying to see how it all works
