Picking items by 2 robots from conveyor

Hi, I wanna ask if its possible to pick parts from conveyor by 2 robots? My idea is that 1st item stop at DP1 and is picked up by robot1 and second item pass to DP2 and is picked by robot2. Or create stack of 2 items or more between the two DP and are picked by robot1 robot2.

If its possible could you instruct me how to do it? i didnt find anything like this so i have no idea

I would let pass first item to be picked by robot 2 and then let robot 1 pick second item.

Decision points send items to exit transfers. This means they are involved before an item arrives an exit transfer. Please place them in some distance ahead of an exit transfer. Exit transfers references taskexecuters to do a transport. In your case these are robots. It looks like you considered most of it. You only need to set a different location for your decision points to send items to an exit transfer. You can let decide a single decision point how to divert items to more than one exit transfer.
