1720- Definitely the best IN landfill bot if you are looking for large amounts of points.
Biggest advantage: Fast tote intake
Biggest disadvantage: slow(ish) lift
Max. scoring ability: 2 36-point stacks

1741- Container specialist that can also stack from landfill
Biggest advantage: Able to cap stacks of 6
Biggest disadvantage: Rear 4-bar arm makes maneuvering the left landfill difficult once stacks start going up.
Max. scoring ability: 1 36 point stack and a stack of 4

71- Very good all-around landfill bot. Most consistent of the three robots
Biggest advantage: Faster lift
Biggest disadvantege: Their containers tend to roll of of their stacks
Max. scoring ability: 1 capped 4-stack and an uncapped stack of 5

I definitely agree with this. 1720 was also sort of slow to take the stack to the scoring platform if I remember right. 71 could also usually do 2 4-stacks capped but as you said, if they were not completely still, bins would roll. I know at IN District Championships, 1741 would usually just make 1 stack of 5 with bin and litter and then would usually spend the rest of the time capping everyone else's stacks. I believe that they are definitely capable of what you said they could do but I never saw them do that. I bet that's what they did at worlds.
