Re: Should You Get Totes From Landfill

but the point of my post was that a good third pick probably wont have access to the human player station. being able to stack and score 12 - 20 from landfill would be a solid third pick.
If my third pick at any given regional can score 12-20 totes from the landfill, then no one at the regional must have scouted at all and this dream third pick team must have sat dead for nearly every single match.

I can see the top few alliance captains scoring 12-20 from the landfill each match, with the third pick at the best events being able to score at best maybe 6 totes.

There are 7 possible recycling containers to score, assuming you somehow get all of the ones on the step. 7 stacks of 6 totes is 42 totes. If your alliance scores that, I applaud you, especially at the regional level. There's no reason to score any more than that until the highest levels.
