Re: Is the Boiler worth it?

Unless there is a robot on your alliance that owns* the boiler (see my earlier post in this thread), stoking will be everyone's part time job. Grab a few balls at the loading station, visit a hopper while it is being dumped, or sweep the floor on along your way -- just get a little FUEL when you can, and score it to the best of your ability. This will be the win/loss margin when alliances are evenly matched on gears and climbing. Could even get you an extra RP, sometimes.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
