Re: Scissor Lifter?
In our initial prototyping, we drew a number of designs on a big whiteboard for lifting the totes, including a scissor design. That image was quickly circled with red marker multiple times, and then in bold and exclaimed letters indicated as "Do Not Use!!!" I cannot tell anything else about our design (because we are still finalizing stuff) other than we will most certainly not be using a scissor lift because its incredible complexity and inconsistency. There are many more successful designs available, if you are stumped I suggest you start by looking at the various RI3D elevators and arms, they might serve you better.
