You can see it very well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=45&v=oiOZN4G4OxI
Look at the bottom right feeder (red side). Team 548 get the tote right side up every time.
I don't know how they are doing that in that video but at 10k lake I saw a team able to do that too. Their human player would barely put the tote in the chute then let go of it and open the chute door before the tote would hit the door. This allowed the tote to gain enough speed to not tip on its side. I asked the head ref about it and he said it was a grey area.
