Yesterday we figured out a passive system for our robot to help it move a majority of the landfill zone totes completely out of the way in two moves, so we can get to one, if not both containers on the step. I predict with practice, that we can do this under 10 seconds, and with some slave driving, maybe under 5. We will be doing more testing today with the robot powered so we can really get an idea of how fast we can clear the landfill zone. The proof of concept tests we did yesterday were very promising.

Hint: It's somewhat related to a snow plow. Think ice instead of snow.
Bonus hint: the entire "system" which is actually an attachment, can be cut from an 8x3 inch sheet of polycarb.
