I did have a very different experience because only our claw was manual(and luckily me and our operator was great with it) while our whole stacking and intake system was run by one button.

My job was to position to get the second can, line up, spit the first tote out and then place the 6 stack and repeat steps two through four. If something broke(and it did a decent amount) thats when we switch to manual.
