We came up with a neat hook design that hits the top of the lid somewhere and causes the hook to pivot forward and grab the handle. It could engage very quickly.

It's a little faster for the effort/power because there is no need to telescope (not to mention the weight is lower), but I will admit it's harder to line up than a center grab. Thanks for directing me to 971's grab, it looks interesting.
It remains to be seen what champs will look like.
You don't *have* to telescope to reach both bins, it's a function of where your burgular pivot points rest and how wide you can make your setup. Ultimately, ignoring inertia for a moment, the hole ends up being faster because it is slightly higher off the ground, thus you travel less angular distance to reach it. Of course, reality doesn't ignore inertia.

I see your points. I forgot to account for adding an elbow to the grabber so that a sufficiently low pivot point can make it work. I was accounting for a straight rod, which would contact the totes before making it to the step.
