Also, I love the dewalt transmission for driving the lift.

They are pneumatic linear slides from PHD Inc - https://www.phdinc.com/product/?prod...s&series=sd_se

The dewalt has the benefit of the anti-backdrive, which solidified the selection for us.

We may still have a few additional tricks up our collective sleeves as well...

So the tricks we had up our sleeves (and for anyone pre-scouting the Virginia Regional):

This is the very first run of our 3-tote stacking auto (we obviously need some partners who can move containers out of the way).

We've added tote stabilizers since this video.

And - our carbon fiber step recycling container grabber and auto routine!

We're up to 6 different tested auto-modes we can use as our alliances need:

1- "Do Nothing" - Respectfully stays out of the way of our partners.
2- "Drive Forward" - supports a robot set, works on ground or over platform
3- "Grab and Go" - Picks up either a tote or container and takes it to the auto zone (over ground or platform as well, from any of the staging zones).
4- "Can and Tote" - Picks up both the tote and RC and brings them to the auto zone - from any staging zone, over ground or platform.
5- "Stacked Tote Set" - With alliance partners removing the first two RC's, stacks the 3 yellow totes, and drops them in the auto zone.
6 - "Step Recycling Container Grabber" - Quickly grabs RC's from steps and drags them off step to our field side, brings robot to auto zone.

Can't wait to see everyone in VA!!
