A thought I had was to have a simple arm setup connected to either a pneumatic piston or a motor that starts up at the beginning of the match in order to stay out of the landfill zone, that would be long enough to reach over the totes and knock over all of the containers onto their own side in auton, while fitting in the transport configuration.
Here is a text based thought of it when the appendage is deployed.
Code:
-------- ____________________
| | O|
| | |
| |
-------- O (Another container)
If executed properly and consistently, I could see a team who simply does this be picked at ~85 of regionals and close to ~95% of all districts, for both denying the opponent the containers right away in auton, but bringing them into their own zone.
