I agree. I think the "universal minimal autonomous" that everyone should strive for should be to simply push a RECYCLING CONTAINER into the AUTO ZONE as quickly as possible without touching the yellow TOTE. That would then make it possible for a "stacker bot" to move across in a straight line after two CONTAINERS are clear and pick up all three yellow TOTEs, make a quick turn, and deposit the stack in the AUTO ZONE for a STACKED TOTE SET and a (relatively) easy 20 points.
(+ 4 points for the ROBOT SET = 24 points total).
In the case where there is no "stacker bot" on the alliance, then the alliance would still get the CONTAINER SET for 8 points and the ROBOT SET for an additional 4 (12 points total). (Note that the CONTAINERs do not even have to remain upright; they just need to be fully contained in the AUTO ZONE).
