Re: Tote Bot vs. Container Bot?

But it would be very easy for the container bot to put a container on top of two totes spit out by the human player, and then let the tote bot place it.
I don't see this happening....moving around a two tote stack with a container on top requires very careful, slow maneuvering, and if the container doesn't fall off, it will eat up a lot of time. Although if you have a design for a robot that can do it quickly, I'd love to be proven wrong.
