I'm more concerned about litter in the field making it harder to move precarious stacks...

I totally agree. I'm really surprised that the scoring is four times as high for successfully "littering" as for "processing" litter.
Apart from considering a passive "funnel" to facilitate human loads of noodles into the RC, we haven't spent any robot development time on the litter. Unless you are so incredibly fast that you run out of totes and RCs, I don't see how it's ever going to be worthwhile to pick up a small, odd-shaped piece and carry it way over to the landfill for the only 1-point score in the game.
On the other hand, any litter you still have left behind the alliance wall at two minutes into the match should be tossed onto the field -- it might help, and can't hurt.
