Re: internal or external tote pickup?

My team is going with internal as well. Why stack one at a time when you can make and deliver an entire stack with a trash can on top. As of now we plan on using 2 Cim motors, 2 smaller motors and 2 pneumatic pistons for our entire robot. We'll see if it actually works but so far it far exceeds our expectations. There are definitely many advantages and disadvantages for each but after all that is why we use a decision matrix!
