When itaking a tote, to eliminate stalling the motors once the tote has hit the hardstop, what sensor will be there to sense this. A limit switch? Ultrasonic?

Don't know yet, one of the two you mentioned. I'd prefer to use an IR range sensor, but the problem I for see is that the strap used in auto might get in the way and give us false readings. Use two limit switches for now (left and right). Have a single method which ORs the sensors together for totePresent().

If we use a ranging sensor we can keep the interface the same, but change the implementation.
