Re: Contested Containers

Were I building personally a "Super Shelf RC Snatching Bot" it would be a utilitarian Tote Stacker, RC Handler/RC righter/tall capper (I'd be asking my Alliance partners to work together if possible to build a 4 High Tote wall on the far/left platform first using everything they can reach from the landfill first and the right Human Station (please allow me to work from the left human station as I will store RC's along the left wall and center glass). Please lock them (Totes no more than 4 high), in tight together, and push them tight into the backstop as a wall~This will be key to later capped wall stability!

(I will concentrate on nothing but snatching 2~4 RC's, then righting all of them, loading them with litter, then stacking an RC on 2 Totes and capping the stack~One on every other 6 high stack from the left first/far platform, 2+RC+Litter, 2, 2+RC+Litter, 2, 2+RC+Litter, Etc. (once the far platform is finished ~THE FAR LEFT MONEY PLATFORM THAT IS....NOBODY dares goes near it please! 5 RC's capped easily fit a tight stacked wall, so 10 Totes Wide X 6 Tall=60 Totes+5 RC's+5 Litters)...While they build out the near platform wall last 4 high from the landfill and the other human station backstop first again (one should also push all the upside down totes to the right side of the field early if you cannot right them at least, before building that left wall too much, so they can be used as the lower layer pushed into place if necessary, on the right near platform as the very bottom layer). The RC Snatch Bot (or whoever is actually closest and fastest), should deliver the Yellow Totes to the Shelf and cap/stack co-op if possible.

I work on using up the balance of those RC's capping the remaining stacks on the close right wall. (Key is to get the multiplyers on the walls ASAP on top of at least 1 or more totes).

If there is still time left on the closer right platform, one bot can lift from one side and allow others to carefully slide totes underneath your shorter capped stacks, then lower carefully, and all back away, again carefully before that nasty buzzer sounds). Alliance Coach giving a LOUD 5 second countdown.

Risking moving around those possible remaining floor litter after 2 walls are built is points/pound foolish if it could possibly take down the walls. (Minus 4 for plus 1, is nothing compared to knocking down huge stacks of points!)

In the end capping 7 stacks (5 FL +2 CR Platforms), is not out of the question. Empty the Landfill first w/ 2~3 bots, then allowing the RC Bot to use the closest HP Station. Then down to only the left HP Station. Then once that left/far platform is finished (one bot in right side of landfill, 1 at right station as RC bot finishes up capping using left HP station only.

Well, there is a strategy theory anyway.
