There is no rule preventing this. (Although, sure, I don't see much of a competitive advantage being gleaned from doing this, unless teams wanted to show that they could for some reason.)

Yes. The rules above say "yellow totes may be used to make regular stacks in playoff" so not in qualifications.

That is a great point and the only reason we posted the video was to show our capability for eliminations.but for us adding the can grabber helps by saving time on our first stack and also helps us on our delivery time when play from the first player station.

We finally made co-op and 2 stacks today!

Edit: from the landfill!

At MakeShift we've had a lot of discussion about the rule changes for IRI and we're excited to see how they play out.

We think it will be important in qualification matches to be capable of contributing three capped six-stacks.

And a twenty-point auto would be nice.

With so many great teams and (likely) access to only seven RC's, playoffs may come down to which alliance can consistently drain the HP of totes.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

3824 is soooo looking forward to participating in and watching what will surely be some incredible matches at IRI.

For those that are not too familiar with 3824, here is some info about our team / robot.

- #1 seed and winner in 4 of our last 5 regionals. (First overall draft pick in the 5th.)

- For Recycle Rush, #1 seed and winner at both Palmetto and Smoky Mtn. 12th seed on Tesla, on #3 alliance, finalists, one win from playing on Einstein (oh so close!!).

- HP robot. Either side. 3 full 42 point stacks (when our alliance is able to allocate us 3 cans). See any of the videos of the Tesla playoffs, on TBA.

- We can cap a 4 or 5 high stack of totes, with additional totes / container, making it a full 42 point stack.

- We can noodle a can, and drop it off for an alliance partner.

- We do NOT do can grabbing, landfill or 20 point auto.

Summary: We can stay in one of the two HP corners, out of our partner's way, and contribute 3 full stacks.

Good luck to all the teams!
