Re: How far does the tote drop out of feeder station?

Our team built the feeder station and every time we drop it down the shoot, we dont always get consistent results.
Sometimes the orientation changes a little and most times, they dont fall flat for the 1st bin. When the 2nd bin falls through, there is some "play" with the 1st bin in which the 2nd bin can land on it nicely, if the 1st one landed flat.

Re: How far does the tote drop out of feeder station?

we built up our game pieces about a week ago and also had some problems with the totes tipping when they came out of the chute. What we found is that if you open the door all the way up(no contact with the tote), then just as the tote is about to fall out you drop the so that the bottom of the door drag on the tote for the last few inches then the tote will land flat every time.


Hope this helps
