GearMan98 is an unknown quantity at this point
Righting Tipped RC's

Recently in our testing, we realized that our robot's effector mechanism (a very common one from the basic designs we've seen thus far) has no way of picking up fallen recycling containers. Life Alert might help, but we need a simple and streamlined means to right tipped RC's. Has anyone had the same problem? Can anyone help us find a solution?

More details; we're using an elevator design much like Team Indiana's Ri3D. It utilizes a lead screw attached to a gearbox to lift and lower, and we have two seperate gatherer arms at the same distance as the arms outside of our "frame." We're hoping to find a solution that we can attach to the ends of the elevator that won't complicate our subassembly.
