I am more worried about this than the rest of the team seems to be. They are shifting weight using the battery, and the darts are meant to tilt back loads so that the weight of larger stacks is moved back over the front wheels.

Personally I think moving three tote stacks should be reasonable even though with the current design it means building stacks on the scoring platform.

One of the designs from our design competition was a bottom loader that would have internalized stacks making it easier to build large stacks out on the field and then move the large stacks to the scoring platform once assembled.

I think the community was concerned that the bottom stacker was too specialized and didn't really have too much of a plan for inverted totes.

Another option for our team would be to use the back lift mechanism to carry around a few totes evening out the load, and then score them near the end of the match.

So...am I worried...Yes...The rest of the team? No...They are staying positive...Apparently I am a negative Nancy some times... :-p
