Re: Question about loading totes at the human player station.

My biggest concern with this system is that it appears when the door is opened the tote doesn't slide out. Pretty sure you can see that happen twice in the linked video above.

Then what do you do?

Looks like they pushed it out in the video.

We did a lot of testing with our home-made tote chute and the totes didn't slide all that well. Hopefully there is a good technique to repeatably get these totes through the wall.

Not to mention the tote "crashes and burns" once it exits the chute. Not exactly the way it worked in the FIRST field tutorial. Makes the landfill slightly more appealing.
