All those designs use a Stacker.

I completely agree that the containers in the middle are going to be vital. I'm trying to emphasize the point that the same mechanisms and robots can play differently in elimination matches then they can in qualifiers. This includes autonomous. A robot could have code for a three yellow tote stack when the middle containers may not decide the outcome of a match. Vice Versa, when elimination matches come around and every game piece counts, they could switch to another code to get the containers. I'm not saying I think mastering both is easy, but I do think it's possible.
