Acquiring containers from step during autonomous

With a limited number of containers on the field taking control of the containers on the step may be important. One way to ensure control of these containers would be using autonomous mode to grab the containers. However there is a large amount of totes in the landfill making it so the robot would have to extend pretty far to get the containers. What are your thoughts on the importance of controlling the extra containers and on how to go about getting to the containers.

Going off on a tangent, this is one of few parts of the game where there is inter alliance competition as both teams have access to these containers and will have to beat the other alliance to the containers.

Personally I see this as a possibly over looked part of this game.
