This falls squarely into the realm of happy coincidence. The morning of the last day (after we'd been in the shop all night) I said, "Huh, I wonder...." The gripper as configured could pick up totes if given a solid surface to press them against. The forks would flex slightly apart and it wasn't pretty, but I'm sure it could be optimized to work for both game pieces. The basis of the effect was the limited lateral support of the forks and the fact that they were spaced further apart already to allow clearance for the totes.
