Question about loading totes at the human player station.

Today we got to test out our field elements on carpet and we have found that totes don't land normal on the ground if the latch is simply opened with the tote resting on it. This is a trend we have seen in others tests as well. My question is if we could release the tote say 3 inches off the latch and open the door after we release it (in testing this made for a perfect landing every time if done correctly). By releasing the tote then opening the door G6 would not be violated (or would it). Any ideas? Also if you have done any testing with the totes and the human player station please let me know how your totes landed.

Here is a video of how totes normally land: http://youtu.be/Y1-3u9NEeO4?t=50s

Thanks! and Good Luck!
