Is anyone surprised by the scoring in week #1?

Unless you have a ramp or other mechanism that lines up closely with the tote chute and catches the tote on the way down, it's as fast or faster to load from the floor. That said, I agree that unless both alliances are going to attempt tote stacks or tote sets, it doesn't make sense to put all six on the field. Another word for an un-scorable game piece is obstruction.

There are other ways to make this work......a tote is a pretty darn good ramp! ....and from there stacking is easy.
