Re: The hook design
A hook with an alignment mechanism (Ri3D 1.0) is definitely a good way to go. The GreenHorns' hook mechanism was incredibly simple and effective, but in a 6 week build you should be able to build something that doesn't require as much driver precision. As for the bottom lip of the totes, I wouldn't factor their durability into your hook design. The totes are very durable and we had no problems.
