You have a valid point, programmer.

It would all depend on the material being used, and the orientation it was being used in. Also, how high the support from the back is up the side rails would be important.

I did some calculations with an engineer, and we figured it out that the maximum load the robot (assuming 6 tote or 5 tote bucket and noodle capabilities) would be holding, cantilevered at 6' in the air, would be ~400 foot pounds...

Make sure your material is all good and the supports will hold it and you should be set.
