Re: The math of the cans...
If you go with a "pure" can grabber (that is, ignore totes and depend on alliance partners), you are unlikely to seed high at regionals, due to the low numbers of stacks to place them on. This means you'd be shooting to be selected as part of an alliance. To be most attractive, you'd need to not only grab the cans, but be ready to either score them yourself, or orient them so that any prospective alliance partners can score them (some only use them upright, some prefer them horizontal). If you can carry all four cans over to an HP station in one trip to get them quickly noodled, that would help as well.
Our team has a landfill-mining robot with capability to put a vertical RC at level 6 (or at least 5). Other things being anywhere close to equal, a can-grabber with these features would likely be our first alliance selection.
