"Find the active tool; or else, select the one with the next highest duplo number."
"Drill", duplo no. 3 (at magazine location 4)
This completes the tool selection process and the tool change is initiated.

sequence must first be defined within the tool group being loaded. In this case group T10
is loaded, as T15 is blocked.
When the strategy "Take the first tool with "active" status from the group" is applied, T1 is
loaded.
