True, I was thinking in terms of getting at least two of the ones on the step.
The keyword however is strong robots.
If your team does not have a strong (a subjective term, btw) robot, and you get matched with two other robots with similar strengths and weaknesses, there's no point in trying to make 5/6 tall stacks with a topped off CONTAINER because none of the robots can actually make them.

I think I'm getting off topic, we plan on making 5/6 tall stacks if we have robots on our alliance that can top them off, otherwise 4 is enough.
