A trick that I got from 1640 is to let the tote go when it's half way in the chute and quickly open the door. With some practice it results in the totes lying flat about 90% of the time. It worked pretty well for us at PVDE when we did it. Check out 1640's HP at the bottom right for an example of what I mean.
