Yes, we're aware of that problem. Our robot can flip the bins back up pretty quickly, so it's less of a problem that it appears. However, since our competition isn't for the next month, we'll be working on an UPGRADE PART for the piece that knocks the bins over, to see if we can push them instead. We have a method for doing it, but it's not quite there yet.
