When we're moving cargo from outside the Caterpillar to the inside, how are we placing it inside, or what's the idea there? Are we stacking it, or is there some kind of [system]?
TL;DRCargo is meant to be grouped using grabby hands, cargo jacks, pallets or tractor beams, so you plan the layout and move it in a single trip instead of hauling items one at a time.
Grabby hands. Grabby hands is one of the ways. There's actually, the cargo design has a lot of opportunities for aggregation. The idea isn't go to the beach and grab one drop of sand and bring it back and just keep making trips, but I want to go over there and lump everything together using the cargo jack, the pallets, potentially using the tractor beam as well. We had a couple other proposals for ways to bind multiple groups of cargo together so they can be moved as one. And then you would sort of slide in there as a single unit and then take smaller objects and fill in the remaining spaces. What's interesting about cargo management is the plan, not the action. Walking back and forth carrying things is not interesting. What is interesting is having the tactile element of manipulating something directly and having the higher macro level of how does this fit into this space that I'm designing now with the cargo. So in order to alleviate that middle step, you want to sort of group things together. You've made your plan for this, now it's just move the one time. Like packing a car for a long family road trip, if you have really cool equipment. My long family road trips are never so well planned. It's a mess from start to finish.
