Are active intakes necessary to be competitive in Recycle Rush?

I have limited experience with manipulator design, but FRC wisdom broadly states that for almost all games, the first priority in manipulating game pieces is acquiring them in the first place.

That being said, acquiring totes (and recycling containers) this year is unique because of the unusual shape of the totes. At the regional level, will active intakes (conveyors, rollers, etc. to acquire game pieces) be crucial to having a competitive robot? Or will alignment by the drivers be enough to acquire game pieces?
