This should get them out of the way for any team that wants a clear path to stacking the 3 yellow totes (I bet there are a few teams who would appreciate this). Also, only one more robot needs to grab the 3rd can to get the 8 auto points for a container set. This should be especially useful at 1294's week 1 and week 2 district competitions.

They can also be used in tele-op to drive into the gap in the middle of the landfill and reach sideways to grab the two center cans on the step.
Sorry for my late reply, but Tyler actually predicated correctly. ^^
