This is something that teams could discuss in the queue.

Destroying the array on the left in front of the scoring platform and plowing the totes onto it is the same score as a stack without an RC, however the horizontal real estate is limited.

It gives an opportunity for teams with modest abilities to contribute to the score.

4048 only did this after they had contributed to co-opertition.
its not a problem for robots that acquire totes separately if you designed it so that you can pick up totes in any orientation...anymore than roller bots who have to line up a certain way to intake. Only possible downside is not picking two at a time if disheveled, in return for easier access to wall RC's..a trade off.
