I agree that it wasn't their intended strategy but I decided to mention it because someone responded that it might be a good idea, presumably in a match setting. My rebuttal to using that for coopertition is that if you miss and launch it over to the other side you will get a penalty for each tote you knock over. And like the end of the video shows the robot is capable of knocking the whole coop stack to the other side. Its painful to think about 4 potential penalties for that.
