Re: Picking Up Upside-down Totes?
It should be reasonably easy to flip totes. While this ( http://youtu.be/qfu9l_OF_gw?t=2m4s) is definitely not an FRC link, I feel like it effectively shows a possible (albeit massively overpowered) system for flipping totes. If you compacted it you could probably just bolt it to the back of your bot. It's not like it requires anywhere as much force to flip a tote.
I don't think it's reasonable to stack totes on top of an upside down tote that's being held with friction. Then again, your robot design and experiences may vary from ours.
