Yes, there are pistons that actuate the intakes in and out. As for the bot's ability to do coopertition, I never intended this to have that function. Maybe the intakes are high enough to do it, and if it does, then I can use the intakes to roll the yellow totes out. However, for this bot it's all about the stacking. If this were in a competition, I would love the 40 points from the yellow totes, but making consistent stacks looks better for scouting. That was my logic for that.

As for dropping a stack less than 6 totes, yes the bot does have to back up a little because of the bin grabber arm. It's a disadvantage, but I kind of also wanted to do such a mechanism because I never made such things in CAD before, and I wanted to try it out.
