We're thinking of adding this to ours.

If you have a roller intake, a tote that was freed from the array may be easier to attain. For the Robots that acquire totes separately on their elevator and create the stack only when they lay them down, this would be a problem.

This is something that teams could discuss in the queue.

Destroying the array on the left in front of the scoring platform and plowing the totes onto it is the same score as a stack without an RC, however the horizontal real estate is limited.

It gives an opportunity for teams with modest abilities to contribute to the score.

4048 only did this after they had contributed to co-opertition.
