internal or external tote pickup?

There is no clear winner in the internal-external debate.

Look at your priority list (or Karthik's)and figure out what points are most important to your team.

Team Indiana is the only one of the 72-hour builds that went with an internal design. One feature it has is the crossbar at the top of the lift that serves as a pinch point and stabilizes the stack when travelling.
Having said that, I'm personally leaning toward external.

We are currently prototyping both designs. I personally like an internal design, but the entire design of the robot has to be considered before a decision can be made.
