Re: Picking Up Upside-down Totes?

What I would do is have two pads (possibly rubber or something else that can grip plastic well) that are built off of arms with motors on them. This way, you can grab the tote and flip it right side up by using the motors. You could even do this in testing and have it automatically rotate the motors (and as a result the container) only a certain number of degrees.
