Awesome! Have you guys practiced getting totes from the chute if they land on their ends?

Yes we are able to pull them back to the right side. We can't show everything in video right?

Took you long enough to finally finish Love the robot, Ronnie. I'm sure we'll be seeing some high scores with it.

Totes will definitely be landing on their ends on the real field. Hopefully your solution for that won't hurt your cycle time too much!

I hope we have one too but in about 1,000 totes, none have landed on end...

That may be the case on your field, but totes were consistently landing on end on the official field at Week 0 here in NH. Just something to be aware of.

Is there archived video up of matches? We knew they would, just didnt know how often. It was hard to replicate the effect, was very easy to set on its end and try picking up.
