Also, it doesn't seem likely to score a stack of 6 totes and then top it with an RC; you'd have to grapple it awfully low. However, I would not be at all surprised to see several robots at each regional score a stack of 3 or 4 or 5 totes, then top it with 3 or 2 or 1 tote(s) and an RC; I seem to recall one of the Ri3d robots performing this feat at the 3-and-3 level.
yes, i meant "bottom-stacking". I did did not mean average teams driving around with a stack of 6+RC. I was imagining a team that builds two stacks on the scoring platform, then top with minimal movement needed.

I can also imagine 2 pretty average teams that work together well where the first team with the slow lift just sits at the scoring platform making stacks while another robot goes to fetch 2 tote stacks from the chute and places them under the first team's stack. seems like 80ish teleop points should be no problem for 2 average bots as long as they can coordinate well...
