Re: Should You Get Totes From Landfill

I want to add that the visual restrictions of the drivers will be more impacted for the Step totes than the driver station totes. I know with just a single stack made getting the step totes exponentially harder during our practice session due to sight restrictions, note we haven't put on a camera yet. I think a good alliance will probably have robots get the step totes enough to clear the RC's and then focus on the driver station totes for scoring purposes. The bigger question is do you believe that you need more than 20-30 totes per match at a regional/district level. If so then the step totes are a must, but they almost have to be done first.
