We swerve/crab in to pick up the empty cell... it will fall directly in front of our robot.. we move forward to pick it up...trapping it against the wall if need be... then we turn off the collector when we have the empty cell and then strafe to move away...or back up or move whatever way is good.

If there is no traffic...(as if that would ever happen..) we could pick it up moving parallel to the side wall...
