If you can make 3 capped and noodled stacks of 6 you've done exactly enough to win championships...as long as you can acquire those 4 bins.

But keep watching...they had a device they tried to use that would make a line of totes for them to gobble up at the HP station.

What happens if both alliances get two bins off the step? Or do you envision that as unlikely?

Watching the livestream, 1114's robot, even at practice matches on Day 1, looks to be playing beautifully. And the HP contraption, regardless of whether it continues to work, is brilliant out-of-the-box thinking.
