Re: Picking Up Upside-down Totes?
We figured that a tote-flipper would be more sensible, since a right-side-up tote is a lot easier to deal with in the robot. An arm that grabs the far top edge of the tote and pulls it towards the bot while driving backwards would achieve the job.

Actually, we figured that it's probably not necessary for playing the game pretty well. It might be needed to win CMP, though.
