Go to Post We have donut eating contests to see who has the best legs. We paint our pigs. We argue about which time zone we are in. About 400,000 of us gather together to watch cars go around in a circle. We also build robots.Yep, our cultural norm is a bit different. - Andy Baker [more]

I don't understand how this is supposed to help. If the chassis is intended to sit on the 2x4 frame, the bottom plane of the robot's wheels will be well below the raised platform on which the tote is sitting. Unless I'm missing something basic about how you are expecting this to work, you've taken the problem of the robot being higher than the floor and turned it the other direction. Am I simply failing to see what it's meant to do?

But even if I am missing something basic, robot frames are not all at the same height off the ground. I'm afraid that this "solution" would not work for a large fraction of the robots I have seen this year.
