Thanks. As rookies we wanted something a little bit different but honestly nobody ever thought about an active intake until after we bagged the robot. Our regional was actually pretty good to us and nobody would disturb the totes so we just ran into them and lifted. It worked well and on the good matches we'd get 2 4stacks down (we could make 5 stacks if 1 was already down) along with coop and 2 bins. For our summer project we moved the lift and are doing an intake and elevator system.
