Re: Odd Autonomous Rules

The reason it says "all three" totes and "any three" recycling containers is because there are only three totes on your side of the field, while there are seven recycling containers you can (in theory) use: three next to the yellow totes and four on the step. So it says "any three" to indicate you get the points as long as there are at least three containers in the auto zone, but they don't have to be the three that start out next to the totes. In practice I highly doubt that the containers on the step will ever be use in autonomous, but because they are there the rules can't say "all three" recycling containers and have it make sense.

The scoring for recycling containers and totes works the same way: if you have three in the auto zone, you get the points (8 or 6).
