It's really a debatable matter, and how your robot does the task is what really defines the best strategy. Landfill is such a risky move. Look at the field spacing. If you have 3 robots going to the landfill, it's going to be a tight squeeze. If you have some robots that place stacks on the step closest to the landfill, you could get trapped in and then knock over the stacks. I personally feel that the best strategy would be to have 3 robots, each who can perform one of these 3 tasks:
-One robot taking totes from the landfill, and making large stacks of 4-6
-Another making stacks from the totes at the HP station
-One robot taking RC to the HP station, getting a noodle in them, and stacking them

That would essentially be the ideal alliance. I'm hoping to compose a strategy book, detailing our possible match paths to best cooperate with your alliance members and ensure that you won't be in their way.

Your worst enemy this year will be your own alliance.
