Because it seems as though your 3 tote-3 bin auto requires this tote to be possessed by the robot and off the ground, are you confident that it is allowed by the rules?
I may just be missing a rule or Q&A, but it seems to be a grey area in the rules for auto placement.

well spotted!
this is our second robot, the front "flaps" can open (hinged sideways) and we grab from the floor in the competition robot , and this system is 100%reliable grabbing from the floor
