I think teams that can get a single bin from the edges off the platform in auto will pair up with a team adept at getting two of them from the center in order to try and get that advantage secured.

Chris is right, this is pretty simple science. It's just a mechanism that has to cover a 20 foot span, pick up 4 heavy objects including two 10 feet away from the center of the robot, then somehow swinging them off the step without
a) clipping them on totes in the landfill
b) tipping over
c) getting ripped apart or dragged over the step by a friend on the other side of the step who wants them just a little more than you
d) keeping them in the field of play
e) keeping them upright
It's just that easy. Pretty sure even a team working in Indian Cave in Nebraska is gonna be rolling up with one of these
Oh, you want to take them to the auto zone too for another 8 points? Ok.
(You just secured an up to 120 point advantage for your team. I'd say don't get greedy, but I'm not a cop. I can't tell you what to do.)
