Does it make sense for the robot to automatically go forward and pick up the totes? #65

This would run as soon as teleop started -- but ONLY if 3-tote autonomous had just ran. It would get the 3 tote stack and immediately grab them and head for the step.

I imagine this would be enabled/disabled by a toggle button on the UI.

@Twinters007 , @killerhamster222 ?

Yes. And let's please do it. It takes time for me to make sure I am picking up only 1-2 on the hook, but if we had it automatically do that on teleop init, then I could just drive and place them in maybe 2 seconds less. This would mean manually setting the forklift position to just below the tote (since you can be touching as long as you aren't supporting the totes). Then when teleop starts we bring the forklift to max and I start driving. This would also mean being able to go over the scoring platform so even more time will be saved. THIS SOUNDS GREAT LETS DO IT

Ok, write it up. Should be pretty easy to do. :)

This is vaguely related to #60, and the two tasks will need to be coordinated.
