Re: Container? What container??-4976 Teaser
Yes a risk we'll take I guess. Plan is to get to the container first, the arm action is about 1-2 seconds. We tested tug of war scenarios and we have a firm grip on the container. The hooks do let go before the robot gets tippy so that is a plus.

As for knocked over containers, yes we have a mechanism to right them and place them on stacks
