Everyone seems to think color coding is a good idea, and I suppose it's viable, but what of this strategy? Assuming the opposing alliance littered your side, you could litter your side, too, and you have twice the noodles to then score atop containers or in the landfill. On the flipside of the coin, if you don't manage to throw into their zone, then it's litter you are responsible for and you must pick it up, or be penalized because there's litter on your side.
Ignoring any sense of throwing litter at anybody, focusing solely on your half of the game, the point is to stack totes, recycle bins, and process litter. Everyone litters, so it doesn't matter how it got there, if you don't process it, the opposing alliance gets the advantage.
The Noodle Agreement, if the other alliance were to go against it, would just result in you having more noodles to potentially score with if you have a bot on your alliance that can handle noodles. Really, this has the potential to make a whole different kind of robot a viable alliance member, and suddenly the one that's good at picking up noodles is the MVP. Assuming you don't color-code the noodles.
