Re: Kept out of the bag

We kept our Container Arm and Lift. Our Lift is a pretty small modular lift so that wasn't hard to do. We decided to keep it because we needed to work on our plastic tote tabs to try and get better performance out of them. In the end were actually also rebuilding it tomorrow completely out of Carbon Fiber structural tubing. The current lift weighs 18.6 lbs after the new one is constructed I'd be surprised if it weighed more than 10. We'll also hopefully iterate some kind of active tote alignment system into it by our second event.

The withholding of the container arm was more just to do some final adjustments to it. It could have gone in the bag one way or another.
