We decided that we'd make a robot that can stack and score both totes and trash cans. After all, having an alliance partner to depend on for part of the work in Week 2 is not a sure thing.

We also decided that having the robot process noodles is not high on our list of things to do.

Furthermore, the tote stack will be built on the robot, so that very little driving is required to make a tall stack. We'd like to be able to build stacks quickly from both the chute and the landfill.

We'd also like to do the autonomous TOTE STACK thing, although it may be tricky to get all three totes and deliver them in time. This requires good automagic tote grabbing ability, which we'd like to do anyways to ensure fast cycle time.

We may end up stacking the can upside-down on the totes to simplify the mechanism, so the noodle isn't an option in that case. We'll see.
