There are 30 totes behind the feeder station, 28 totes in the landfill, and 12 on the step. Three robots at the highest levels will have difficulty scoring all of them, and then there are 7 containers you are able to grab.

And that doesn't even touch upon litter.

I can see all sorts of different alliances with different robots serving different roles being viable in Recycle Rush.
So what roles do you see? Cause I'm pretty firmly stuck with a robot that creates a lot of stacks or a robot that tops with multipliers. This field gets cramped fast and having roles that overlap are innefficient. I'm thinking maybe a robot that only moves resources around... not even sure if that's viable.

Re: Stacking vs Capping vs ???

Comparing this thought to previous years (2013 for example) you either scored disks, climbed, or were some combination of the two. There were enough disks too rarely run out and enough room on the pyramid to allow for all three to climb. This year there are enough game pieces (and enough variety) and enough space on the scoring platforms that you can have three robots playing the same role.

Robots that are effective at picking up and scoring totes from the landfill (up to height xxx),
Robots that are effective at picking up and scoring totes from the feeder station (up to height xxx),
robots that are effective at picking up and scoring containers from the ground,
robots that are effective at picking up totes from the step and landfill and scoring them (up to height xxx),
robots that are effective at picking up both containers and totes from the ground,
robots that are effective at picking up containers from anywhere,
robots that are effective at picking up containers from the ground and totes from the feeder station,
ETC.

There are quite a few different roles, and different types of these robots work together better with each other.

Re: Stacking vs Capping vs ???

I bet there will be (at least) two classes of stackers: ones that can make small stacks very quickly, and ones that can make small stacks into big stacks, perhaps at a slower rate. Feel free to sub-divide these into 'from human station' or 'from landfill' or whatever.

Take any of the Ri3D robots, for example, and pair them with a team that can make stacks of 3 totes really quickly. The 'pick and place one tote/stack' sort of design common to Ri3D could make stacks of 6 with one or two (careful) maneuver(s) while the second robot cranks out stacks of 3 totes wherever they can manage to place them. A third robot caps these stacks with cans, maybe with litter.

This might be my ideal alliance...
