For this reason, the goal should really be to move game pieces into auto zone. To make the most of auto time it is advantageous to start getting the grey totes ready to be stacked, or go towards the center and start clearing way towards the middle barrier to get those cans.
During tele-op it will probably be best to have one robot on filling the cans with noodles early on (which really doesnt require much since you can just drive the cans up to human loading station and put the noodles in there directly) to get them ready for stacks. Initially the focus should be on scoring 3 high stacks (this way there is no risk since its linear scoring and gets it ready for the 6 high stacks). Once there is a 3 high stack put a can with a noodle on there then wait for another 3 high stacks, and then combine the stacks, which is the best strategy for stacking in my opinion. Co-op should really be a priority, for that create a stack of 3 and wait for the opposing alliance to get the 4th tote, if they can put it on top of the stack then great, if not get their tote and put it on top of the stack. The robot should also be able to pick up noodles from the ground, just to drag them to the landfill zone and get them to score, although that really shouldn't be a priority. The priority should go to co-op and stacks with cans (even if no noodles).

Definitely not impossible. I had an idea to be able to do this on the first day, but the programming for it is off the wall. It is possible, and you don't need anything super special from your alliance partners either.
