That would mess with some teams in teleop, however I do think if it was optional that would be helpful, on both sides.

Having multiple landfill configurations depending on alliance preference would likely make match resets take significantly longer. I would avoid it from a scheduling standpoint.

It wouldn't take as long as you think. As long as all of the totes are on the field it doesn't take long for a few people to reset the landfill. Resetting the HP stations could take even longer now with 12 extra totes that would need to get moved back to the corners.

If you had one point person on each side of the field for field reset that each alliance needs to check in with before the end of the preceding match asking for the left, right, or both sides to get flipped it becomes easy.

Yes it makes some can grabbers less effective but if you want the totes that might be the cost. Just a little surprised they are leaving 10 useless totes on the field and not giving teams the options.
