I predict that a number of really good teams are going to write autonomous code for all three of the robots in their match, so that the other two robots can fit into their plan.

This might be something like:

0:00 Robot 1 starts moving towards first tote. Another robot (let's say Robot 3) moves to push the bin opposite Robot 1 into the Auto zone.
0:03 Robot 1 has reached tote and is lifting it up into the air. Robot 3 has pushed its bin and is coming back for another that Robot 1 missed.
0:07 Robot 1 is lifting second tote. Robot 3 has the second bin.
0:11 Robot 1 is lifting third tote. After Robot 1 leaves the second bin, Robot 2 sweeps it into the Auto zone. Robot 3 has pushed the bin into the Auto zone.
0:15 Robot 1 drops off its stacked tote set. Robots 2 and 3 are happily sitting in the Auto zone, exchanging anecdotes and drinking root beer. The crowd goes bonkers.

Maybe this doesn't make sense. It's clear enough to me but it's not the easiest thing to communicate.

Our robot is currently trying for a stacked tote set. We've got a fast enough stacker, but it will be difficult, considering possible interference from other teams... which is where writing code for them comes in.
