Re: Encompassing Totes vs. Holding Them Outside Perimeter
Did you already build your chassis and electronics before you knew what your robot would be doing?
As far as deciding where to put totes,consider the weight of a stack of totes and where that weight will be relative to your C.G. and relative to where your wheels touch the floor.
