In short, it's capable of doing most things.

Looks good. If your driver is practiced and reliability it good, your team should have a good year. In particular (if you don't end up as alliance captain) I can see where your lift could be trusted to take a <6 stack with a RC and add the necessary totes underneath without toppling the RC to get a 6+RC stack.

*emphasis mine
Did you know you can start the match already touching the tote? It has to be completely supported by the floor, but you can already be attached when you setup...
