Well, grabbing 2 (if an alliance member can grab one of the ones near the yellow totes) or 3 bins off the step during Auto, and being able to throw them into the auto-zone, will give you 8 points, whereas a robot set will only give 4.

And while during qualification matches, yes, those bins will probably be there after autonomous, they may not be during the elimination matches.

But this all comes down to what each individual team works out with their alliance.

(Note: I'm not saying that this is what my team is going to do. I'm also not NOT saying this is what we are going to do. )
