[I've thought they were tomatoes, and I've seen them called apples,
but beets is a new one--good choice.  BTW, fllrobotgame hasn't

Each of the two crates of produce is a multi-part model and is
considered a single unit of groceries, worth 2 points.
See the Field Setup, "There are twelve units of groceries: Ten in
Base, and two specific ones in the yellow truck," and also Game Update
7.
