The conveyor starts the match on its side on the scoring platform longways and is knocked over by the Directional Extending Recycling container Placement [DERP] Crane and is then driven to the chute door (yes, chute door) with omni-wheels on the end of the conveyor. The stacker portion of the robot never leavers the scoring platform, just moves sideways along it after each completed stack and the DERP Crane retrieves the 2 barrels closest to us on the step as well as any barrels our teammates can get within 15ish feet of us.
