Re: pic: Ideas for a feeder loader who can top containers

If you have an elevator, why are you loading from the station? Strategy?
Also, you can load your totes by lifting up your whole stack and driving into another tote, then dropping the stack onto that. This allows you to get a 6 tote stack (or 15, whatever) by only moving your arm up about 13". Faster and easier IMO. Plus, your awesome design lets you carry two stacks at once- one in the arms, and one in the robot.
Are you conerned about rigidity of the elvator towards the top, out of curiosity? I was wondering for our own designs.

I see the advantage - with 3 robots on one side, a team could make use of the HP delivered totes and stack on existing stacks or on the scoring platform with ease and efficiency.

Great game play!

It looks like there's room underneat the rollers on the bottom. Might want to make that easy access though IMO.

You're on the right track, don't let anyone tell you differently.
