Our findings are that most of these 3+ stack landfill bots are the best 20pt auton bots but if you don't run the 20pt auton, you really need to be a proficient (if not "world-class") RC grabber to be a high seed/high seed 1st pick.
I would imagine that reliability is also an issue. If a robot can only do 3 fully capped stacks in the fairest of weather, but normally only makes one or two stacks, it could easily be lower on the list than another robot that can do 2 fully capped stacks but can do something special like use cans on their sides (like 1983 or 67, who have to my knowledge have never made 3 stacks).
