The previous joint values left the gripper slightly tilted off-vertical at the place pose, so the bottle tipped over when Open Gripper fired at the end of the tutorial 3 pick-and-place flow. Re-recorded with the gripper truly perpendicular to the tray surface. Above Tray Place Simple is unchanged — the visible tilt during the descent comes from this lower waypoint, not the hover above. Fixes PickNikRobotics/moveit_pro#19225.

Summary
Re-records the
Tray Place Simplewaypoint inlab_simso the gripper is truly perpendicular to the tray at the place pose. The previous values left the gripper tilted just enough that the bottle fell over whenOpen Gripperran at the end of the Tutorial 3 pick-and-place flow.Why this approach
Two questions had to be answered before re-recording:
Above Tray Place Simpleare unchanged.waypoint_name="Tray Place Simple") from Objectives, so changing the underlying joint state is safe.Other approaches considered and rejected:
Above Tray Place Simpleand leaving the lower waypoint alone — wouldn't fix the release-time tilt, which is where the bottle visibly falls over.Tray Place Simple v2) — would require parallel updates to every Objective and the tutorial. Replacing the joint values in place is the smaller blast radius.Manual verification
Recorded the new pose in
lab_simwith the gripper held perpendicular to the tray (Cartesian goal at gripper-down quaternion, IK-solved into joint space), saved the waypoint over the existing entry.Related
