Is this idea crazy -- measurements to come

[thunderbotsgirl]

Alright, so I came up with this crazy idea after finishing my the Chairman's essay (my team is small so we all kind of just do everything)... Any way... I thought of using an arm-like mechanism that works almost as an elevator in the sense that it can go from the ground up to maybe 3 feet? I haven't decided on it's max height yet, but the arm has two extensions that are rollers, and their distance would be adjustable in order to be able to pick up both upside down and right side up totes... It sounds complicated, but would it actually work?
