Yes, but I still don't see why. I think people are sacrificing basic safeguards that are very important because of something that is more convenient.
Lift the wheels off the ground or perhaps just disconnect drive motors as someone suggested earlier. Lifting the wheels even half an inch above the ground resolves the issue and should still allow you to test your pick up mechanism. (i.e if you suck the tote up, then lay something underneath the tote so that it lays at the right height for the now slightly raised robot).
Are we all seriously saying there is no workaround? Convenience really trumps safety?
