It depends on how long it takes that team's robot to acquire the bins.

Also, that robot could grab the bins, then chuck them into the auto-zone, without driving into the zone itself, depending on time constraints.

If you go into a match and you know it will take about 15 seconds to get those bins and you still want to get them, that means you are confident either the other alliance cannot get them or you can get them faster. In both of those cases, more often than not they will still be there after auto, so get the points while you can.

Well, grabbing 2 (if an alliance member can grab one of the ones near the yellow totes) or 3 bins off the step during Auto, and being able to throw them into the auto-zone, will give you 8 points, whereas a robot set will only give 4.

And while during qualification matches, yes, those bins will probably be there after autonomous, they may not be during the elimination matches.

But this all comes down to what each individual team works out with their alliance.

(Note: I'm not saying that this is what my team is going to do. I'm also not NOT saying this is what we are going to do. )
