 Both might accomplish the same "function" or "results" (perhaps a lift of some kind), but there are clear differences in simplicity, in cost, in maintainability, extensibility, and several other "ilities" -- which are a staple of engineering evaluation criteria. - msd [more] |

Re: The math of the cans...
The can grabber arms race is going to be very interesting. I think that the middle containers stand a good chance of being broken during Einstein. You have the vertical surface of the step and the vertical surface of the totes to provide an unmovable plane to anchor your robot from going forward.
Clever teams will build mechanisms which cannot physically let the containers go across the step. When two of these teams are against each other, bad things may happen to containers and robots.
