Were there any recycling containers removed from play at champs? I don't remember seeing any.

I didn't notice any. They're Rubbermaid cans. They're supposed to take abuse from garbage truck which are far far more rough than any FIRST robot could ever hope to be.
The only time we lost one was at GTCR to a cleaner who wasn't paying attention and took it away. Other than that they were fine for the most part.

Do you know if any lids were ripped off the can?

If they didn't rip off on einstein, with all the abusive can burglars there, i doubt it...

We almost had this at Finals 2 on Einstein. If 118 hadn't let go...

I don't expect any damage to the cans. I do expect damage to can burglars though, seeing as we have broken ours a few times.

I do recall seeing one fairly tall robot whose top was pulled across the step, into the airspace over the opposite landfill. However, it appeared to be above the landfill totes and did not (I believe) result in a G18 violation.

Not only did the canburgular wars not quite reach the fever pitch I anticipated, I do not recall alliances going after the inverted totes or totes on the step in an effort to get those last few points, which I sort of expected at the division finals and on Einstein.

I remember watching 2338 grab an inverted tote so they could use it to push the opposing pool noodles next to the step. A very smart move that helped them move on to the next round.

There was a case of entanglement during Finals 2 of the Hopper sub-division. The tug of war between 987 Highrollers & 1218 Vulcan Robotics begins around 0:40 and continues for over a minute. The red alliance received a red card for a G18 violation.

And yes, the code does exist to throw them... though it has been safely hidden away.
This is actually an amazing thing. I want one.
