Re: Stacking containers(recycling cans)

Shooting for sixes. Our robot is being optimized to clear the landfill of upright totes, or to stack at a human player station. We figure that there will be games where we get the landfill, and want to be able to get the greatest number of points from each trip back to the alliance wall. Flipping the inverted totes is also on the agenda, at a lower priority. If we somehow get the tote stack working fast enough to clear the space during a match and our opposing alliance isn't doing a "wings of death" or other method that will pull the RCs onto their side faster than we can, we'll score stacks of four from the landfill, then top them with two totes and an RC from the inverted landfill area and the step.
