Hope 237 does make it because that would be nice at Einstein although I suspect they won't get all 4 too slow compared to other likely RC grabbers.
Having easy access to the recycling containers from the step allows a different strategy to be employed. Instead of going for high stacks that take long to build and could tip, you could make shorter stacks and cap them with your plentiful RCs - possibly with litter in them if it doesn't take too much time to load them. This strategy could be better depending on your alliance's robot capabilities.
