robots that are effective at picking up and scoring containers from the ground,
robots that are effective at picking up totes from the step and landfill and scoring them (up to height xxx),
robots that are effective at picking up both containers and totes from the ground,
robots that are effective at picking up containers from anywhere,
robots that are effective at picking up containers from the ground and totes from the feeder station,
ETC.

There are quite a few different roles, and different types of these robots work together better with each other.
