We have a method for doing it, but it's not quite there yet.
I like the intense emphasis on the "UPGRADE PART" part of your post.

That's an interesting idea. It looks like a great robot and I hope you guys go far -- three tote autonomous in 15 seconds is a lot harder than some people (especially those non-programmers, relevant gif below) understand.
