Re: Getting the Totes Right Side Up from the Chute Door

What we do is set our robot a little ways away from the door, and then just let the tote fall naturally. The front hits our robot and the rest falls back onto the ground level and ready to be picked up. It might be a little slower than using a ramp, but it saves weight and has yet to fail us once.
