Is it really such a stretch to develop a mechanism that can pick up totes, upright bins, and layed-down bins? Seems safer (to me, at least) to develop a mechanism to do everything YOU need it to do rather than rely on your alliance members to make up for the short-comings of your robot. If your strategy relies on using upright bins, but you don't have a mechanism to right them, you might have a bad time.
