This is exactly what I am pushing for. However, I am on a robotics team, and if the rest of the team decides that the other alternative on the drawing board (a gripper claw that grips from the inside, and loads perpendicular to the floor) is better/easier to make, then so be it. It becomes a software problem. I should know my fate by tomorrow afternoon.
