Re: Should You Get Totes From Landfill

So you think a good team is making 5 stacks per match at a regional level. I'm going to assume then that they're leaving RC's to someone else.

How many cycles did "good" regional level cyclers do in 2013?
The elite teams did 6-7 on an empty practice field. A good regional cycler in 2013 hit 2-3 cycles. Or the equivalent of such (i.e. 4 cycles with one miss/cycle)

I think a top regional team can reasonably make 3 stacks from the human player station or the landfill, while the best will do 4-5 per match. But that's just my estimations. Prove me wrong.

In conclusion, either one can be effective. Pick one and do it really really well.
