Sometimes you are unable to pick an object up because you are still holding another object: drop the object you're holding on a table and try to pick the other object up.

Also, it may occur that you had moved from a workbench to another without dropping the object you were holding on to the previous workbench.

On a few occasions, you might need to load the simulation from a checkpoint or try it in another browser (we suggest Mozilla Firefox).

The system is designed to only pick up one item at a time. In the image below, notice that player is already holding a lab coat, which is preventing them from picking up more items.
