Re: pic: Sandstorm II (FRC 4901, 2015)
Looking good! That recycle container auto would be great for an alliance partner like us 
We toyed with the idea of using pistons to lift the totes -- first prototype had two big 18" stroke pistons -- but in the end we went with a chain lift for simplicity. We had terrible problems with battery drain last year running a compressor all match, and wanted to avoid that this year.
Looking forward to getting out on the field with y'all in under a week now!
