Re: Cheap and Dirty Prototype

Something else I noticed early on in the video - your first pickup attempt was with a non-2015 tote. I noticed after scrolling through that you were able to handle the yellow 2015 tote just fine as well, but keep in mind as you refine that pickup that you'll want to make sure it meshes with the 2015 totes and not necessarily with prior years'.

1923 made a prototype off an older tote and had to shamefully re-construct it when we noticed we weren't using the correct ones. Whooooooooops. Turns out the second refinement works just fine with both, but it was an important lesson to learn about double-checking measurements on the real thing.
