Ah, the whole "grab the container first" trick, eh?? Yeah I guess I wasn't seeing the possibility of starting on that side of the field (where the container starts out closest to the wall) because then you have to go over the scoring platform to get to the auto zone. It will depend on whether your robot can carry a stack of three totes and a container over the scoring platform. That would be very impressive!
