Also, 1678 can stacks to 6 I believe when just stacking totes. If you sit out 1678 in place of 5012, you take the risk of 118 creating stacks from a messy landfill or creating stacks from the feeder station (Which I think they were not capable of. Correct me I'm wrong). I think in this scenario, 1678, 1671, and 5012 would of been the best bet, but I think this alliance would run out of totes from the feeder station.
Although 1678 is probably faster than 118 at the feeder station, the Robonauts reveal video shows that they still have the capability to stack at a competitive speed from the human loader. If 1671 was entrusted to spit out 3 superstacks, which they are more than capable of, that leaves their partner with 12 totes left behind the alliance wall. Both 1678 and 118 could take care of those, but 118 could also get any available landfill totes and/or build the third superstack, so unless the alliance was absolutely sure every landfill tote would be unavailable and that 1671 could produce three stacks, I would run 118.
