But here you can redesign the claw game so that the odds are in your favor.

I don't know how much emphasis you all put in the cameras of the bots, but to construct a crane bot will require a lot. One for looking with the crane, one for driving if you fancy.
Also, when all of the totes are close together or not at the perfect angle for the claws, picking up with the crane is made that much harder.
But I think it surely can be done and offers advantages.
