Re: Should You Get Totes From Landfill

The thing about level of play at different regionals...yeah, there are big differences. We usually have an upper tier robot at the AZ regional, and the same robot gets lost in the crowd at some other regionals we attend.

I'm expecting a lot of teams to take at least 20 seconds to get a tote and put it on a stack (however their robot does that). The talk of 5-6 capped stacks is mostly fantasy for most of the teams at the regionals we'll be playing.

One related aspect is that we are expecting quite a few teams to design for chute loading, so we want to be good at fast landfill loading. There are only two chutes. The landfill is 27' wide.
