Re: Should You Get Totes From Landfill
About half of the totes available to you are in the landfill, and you don't have to wait for the human player to feed them to you one at a time. Further, there are only two HP stations. This means that to work efficiently, an alliance needs to have at least one of its members working the landfill. Having your robot be able to do that (and also work an HP station) is the only way to ensure that you will never be on an alliance that is unable to score those totes.

For this reason, we focused our design on the landfill, while ensuring that we can also score RCs and totes. We do not anticipate any difficulty recycling litter at the HP station, apart from the time factor.
