I feel like it's all about running strategy permutations for different types of robots, and then generalizing those results on a robot role level, rather than generalizing for the entire game.
I agree with both of you. We specifically designed our robot to load from the long side of a tote to efficiently work the landfill. Still TBD how much or little of a mess we'll make in four weeks.

I agree that it makes sense to do the coopertition points first, especially if the alliance has already performed a tote set or tote stack, or has been drawn a "single yellow tote" duty in the inter-alliance strategy; there are more points there than most teams will score in a minute.
