I think RC scoring robots that also handle Landfill two at a time will be among 1st selections on alliances if they are not captains themselves. Hey that's us, what a coincidence.
I understand what you're saying when you say 6 is better than 4. However you need to break down every action by how much time it takes. If your alliance plans to put up 200 points in Teleop like the post above mentions, that is 1.48 points/sec. If it takes your alliance 2 seconds to put a noodle into an RC you are losing a point every time you do it.

I know that not every noodle you throw is going to be a guaranteed 4 points. I'm just making the point that 6 points is not always better than 4. A human player throw takes up 0 seconds of robot time. A great human player throw can even slow down the other alliance
