Re: internal or external tote pickup?

We're going external. We considered two different internal designs, but decided it would be much simpler to do external, and we've learned to K.I.S.S. We'll just have to keep our COG far enough back that we won't fall forward with a full load. We're also planning a "stay on the carpet" strategy to further reduce the likelihood of toppling.
