Another issue is if you push the landfill to get the containr on the far left, you then have to to push the totes back were they were if you want to get the container on the far right
If you want to do coop and you have the landfill totes pushed to one side it going to be difficult to get a stack of four if the other alliance can't get to that center
It reads to me that your team might have tried to move the totes from a different angle? I'd love to see a field drawing or strategy mat that showed how you were pushing. I don't get how moving the totes away from the step would lead to the scenario you describe.
