Re: Transformers?

I suppose you could build a robot that sits just off the left end (from the driver's perspective) of the scoring platform with an upside-down ramp to mate up with the platform. Then, it would unroll a conveyor belt out to the loading station, reel them in, stack them in place with a "boat launch" bottom stacker, and finally push the stack to the right, onto the platform. Each stack would push the preceding ones. 60 points for 30 totes. Alliance partners could put a loaded recycle bin on selected totes to score those points. If you were willing to give up contributing to any autonomous points, you wouldn't even need wheels, except on your cart.
