I would focus on either human player loading or landfill loading, not both. And then also consider how you're going to place the stacks, not just how you're going to build them.
ToddF is right, though. You need to come to these conclusions with your team via an in-depth strategy analysis, and pick the right design for you.
I would recommend building in the longwise direction, and for human loading using a ramp, re-designing the backfeed ramp, or considering a design like Team 1325, our fantastic alliance captain at championships. |
We like the human loader much better so If we have to chose a focus I have to say

Yes chute door
We have a very good programming team. Like next level good in fact it's our greatest asset by far. The issue is we are losing our lead programmer who is a amazing. Tomorrow we shall see if he can make it move perfectly if he can't we will design a chassi I guess.
For placing the stacks I want to slowly push them out with our powered intakes that way we can don't have to fully go up the scorinf platform and risk tipping.
