We built for the landfill, anticipating this (on kickoff day) to be the harder challenge. We have a 24" wide "rake" of about 20 spring-loaded 10-32 bolts that we will use to grab the side lip of totes (long end preferred) or RCs. We can grab a single RC or short-end-grab two totes in the same level, or we can carry/stack a much taller stack of totes on the long end (we have done six, but plan to top out at 4 totes or 2 totes + RC in game play, unless we run out of RCs). If we draw HP station, I suspect there is a location we can stand that will make the totes fall upright; this is why we're working hard to get through inspection early enough to play some practice matches for the first time in our four years. We will work out some positions based on our plywood station, but we do not really expect the same performance from the actual field.
