Is that Wheel Tread on your bumpers? I never thought of using that, very good use of materials!

Thank you! Yes, that is indeed wheel tread being used for bumpers. We liked the impact resistance and the small size and weight footprint of the material.

Are you able to manipulate (say turn) the totes using that tread bumper?

No, we haven't had much success in turning totes with the tread bumper. We do, however, use the bumper in moving totes around. An arm goes out in front of the robot, pulling in the totes against the chassis frame and allowing for landfill clearing.
