I'd imagine it would be an issue. Though there are a few possible options here:

1086: IMO best landfill bot in Virginia. Especially as time progressed, their drivers (only juniors btw), improved significantly and can now do at least three four or five stacks, depending on their partners.

2363/384: Although I would take 2363 just based on more driver experience this year (Chesapeake), both teams are interchangeable and highly effective at making capped six stacks.

1885/540 That's where the VA canburglars are. Although I haven't seen enough matches to truly gauge their effectiveness, I know that they made the playoffs in Carson and did well at Pittsburgh and Greater DC. They can cap 1086's stacks and clean up the cans 2363/384 doesn't use. 540 only has a one canburglar unfortunately, but we can also quickly grab cans off the step and cap stacks during tele-op as well.

You're right that the state does lack major canburglar power though. However, there are multiple options for a powerful alliance.
