Auto Powerhouse?

In fact, I want to compare this to triple balancing in 2012. If an alliance scores the full 32 points in auto, they deserve Loch Ness Monster stickers on their robots.

Edit::There are many other ways of doing this, but I imagine they would be pretty complex engineering challenges. The above method is what I think would be easiest. But, given the lax rules of this year's game, many solutions are possible.

So we're looking at a tote pickup mechanism that could probably grab the container, lift it, then grab and stack three totes under that. If we can manage that, then all we really need is two teams to bulldoze the other containers out of the way. And to move fast, of course. It helps that we can be driving to the next crate while lifting the previous one.
