Re: Should You Get Totes From Landfill

This.

In order for an alliance to win at higher levels, it will need to be able to gather and stack totes and recycling containers from all areas of the field. In other words, both functions will be needed. I do not believe that there will be a single robot that can make level six stacks (with noodles and bins) with all three recycling containers on the alliance's side, gather the four RC's in the center and stack them (level six with pool noodles). Even the great robots will need complementary alliance partners. What's important is not so much which function you choose; rather how well and quickly you do it.
