So the tricks we had up our sleeves (and for anyone pre-scouting the Virginia Regional):
This is the very first run of our 3-tote stacking auto (we obviously need some partners who can move containers out of the way).

We've added tote stabilizers since this video.
And - our carbon fiber step recycling container grabber and auto routine!

We're up to 6 different tested auto-modes we can use as our alliances need:
1- "Do Nothing" - Respectfully stays out of the way of our partners.
2- "Drive Forward" - supports a robot set, works on ground or over platform
3- "Grab and Go" - Picks up either a tote or container and takes it to the auto zone (over ground or platform as well, from any of the staging zones).
4- "Can and Tote" - Picks up both the tote and RC and brings them to the auto zone - from any staging zone, over ground or platform.
5- "Stacked Tote Set" - With alliance partners removing the first two RC's, stacks the 3 yellow totes, and drops them in the auto zone.
6 - "Step Recycling Container Grabber" - Quickly grabs RC's from steps and drags them off step to our field side, brings robot to auto zone.
Can't wait to see everyone in VA!!
