box-feeding properties

Issue #104 resolved
Wyatt Newman created an issue

Is it possible to control when new boxes are released?

If not, could some clarity be offered regarding when boxes are made available by the system?

It seems odd that deploying new boxes would not be under control of the system, as this seems to dictate that the system has to respond to uncertainty of timing re/ appearance of boxes. Having a control system have to respond to boxes appearing seems like the tail wagging the dog :-)

    Teams don't have control over when boxes are released.

    They are released approximately 2.4m apart, the timing between boxes will be impacted by the power of the conveyor.

    "approximately" is better stated as "roughly"; the exact locations can be detected with sensors of course.
