With 1678, you're limiting the score of at least one of your bins to a 36 point stack, rather than a 42, and possibly hindering your ability to collect whatever loose landfill bins are accessible.

that makes no sense, though. you're losing 2 stacks worth of points... In a good game, 1671 can put up 3 stacks of 6 (I've seen video of them doing so). if 118 was not on the field, I would probably expect them to do 3 stacks of 6 from the feeder, dealing with all of the containers. I'd then have 1678 do 2 uncapped 6 stacks, and then try to get something out of the messed up landfill, since they have a wheeled collector. but this is all speculation, really, since it didnt happen

Yeah, I mentioned they would run out of totes, but with 118 more than capable of using the HP station, I would put them in place of 1678 too because if they do run out of totes 118 can try and make stacks from the landfill. 118 provides a much more flexible robot, whether it's creating capped 6 stacks from the HP station or the landfill. I agree with you that running 118 over 1678 is a smarter choice in the 900/5012 can battle situation.

that works too
