(+ 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).
This is very similar to what I was thinking. The other option is for a "universal auto" to be that teams take their yellow tote to the landmark.
