Re: The "Can" Proposal

It'll be hard to learn (and I've struggled with proper terminology so far), but I think we'll all be better off if we stick close to FIRST's terminology... Totes, Yellow Totes, RCs, and litter/noodles all work just fine.

The 'Noodle Agreement' is quite different, as FIRST never alluded to such a thing and it was quickly identified by many parties indepednetly.

Maybe the green recycling containers should be called "caps", since that is their scoring function -- they score nothing if not placed atop at tote.

Then the green pool noodles can be called "feathers", since they enhance the value of a "cap".
That said, this sounds pretty good too... :-)
