The robot generally goes through a cycle in order to score. Something like:
1. Move to game piece(s).
2. Pick up game piece(s).
3. Move to scoring area.
4. Score game piece(s).
5. Repeat.
How quickly do can do a cycle determines how many cycles you do which determines how many points you can score.

I have to agree with Bryan. In every game you have the cycle (wash, Rinse, Repeat).
Now active is a vague term. You can have active, which allows for the robot to come to a game peice and the rollers will pull it in, and you can have an active system which assist the robot in manipulating the piece so the robot better aligned. I would think that being able to have rollers that can assist with turning totes a little, so the robot doesn't have to do fine moves, will be the biggest help. An active system that pulls in totes can be delayed if the robot has to do all the aligning first.
Good Luck and Have Fun
