Teach Downstream Pick Limit (#3 in preceding figure)

Downstream pick limit is the farthest point, towards the downstream limit, that the
robot is allowed to pick an object. It will be between the upstream and downstream lim-
its. This also teaches the near side of the belt, width-wise (nearest the robot). The dif-
ference between the far side and near side establishes the usable width of the belt.

1. Place the target at the downstream pick point, near the robot (widthwise on

the belt).

If the robot is mounted above the belt, and is centered on the belt, pick the side
of the belt opposite from the side you picked before.

2. Move the robot to the target.
