It also depends a bit on what region you are in or how early in the season the competitions are. For instance at Palmetto there were elimination matches with only tote+can robots and tote robots. Cans were left on the floor while the teams racked up tote points but ignored the cans. There were at least 2 working can specialist robots that I remember who sat out of eliminations for whatever reason.
It seemed to us that can specialists were not highly valued, in part because there were so many tote+can robots to choose from.
