Re: Intentionally tipping and disabling your own robot FTW...

well, it is very possible to block almost all of the lane. say the forklift is designed to reach over 6.5 ft. and on your "claw" you have a perpendicular piece that is a couple of feet long (say 3). and on top of that, you have a clamp that would go on top that's another 2.5 ' long.

that is about 12 feet right there... I suppose it could be swiveled our of the way but I have a feeling that this might be happening accidentally a lot.
