How far does the tote drop out of feeder station?

The community here might be able to help more if you gave a few more specifics about your mechanism, maybe pictures or CAD renderings.

These statements are interesting to me; in our tests, the totes come out exactly the same way every single time.
We are testing on carpet floor, with a slick chute surface similar to HDPE.
We have noticed that there is a tendency for the tote to do a nose-dive when exiting the chute and stand on end when on carpet. On a tile floor, the tote slides to a horizontal orientation.
