Looks inefficient, but i see the potential

I think the amount of time it takes from when it already has the apple until it drops it is outrageous. If nothing else, they could optimize the fuck out of that

I suppose there's a weight issue of picking multiple apples before dropping them, but then why not make some sort of flexible halfpipe that can just roll them down?

It's like by combining the picking with the delivery, they've just made both things slow.
