This game is so sick!!! Like I said from the beginning 3 vs 3!!! and I even won 5 bucks off it beccause another team mate said it wasn't possible!!! yayayay... a little dissappointed that the HP doesn't have that much involvement this year but I guess we'll see... I can't wait though... This seems to be such a great game and the competition is going to be intense!!! GOOD LUCK ALL!!!

I don't see much diversity in the robot designs themselves this year - there's really only one goal to accomplish here, that of stacking the tetrads. This is going to come down to the humans...the drivers, human players, and programmers in particular.

Programming could be vital here - I really do think that autonomous could be a deciding factor here. Then again, who knows how things will shake out?

I didn't mean how many tetras you can stack on top of a goal. i meant how many tetras can be Contained inside a goal. it seems as if there's only room for one but i'm not sure about it.

<G10> If during the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD a VISION TETRA is STACKED on a GOAL located on the edge of the field, a bonus TETRA will be STACKED on the nearest corner GOAL in the alliance END ZONE. If during the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD a VISION TETRA is STACKED on the CENTER GOAL, a bonus TETRA will be placed on both corner GOALS in the alliance END ZONE. All bonus TETRAS will be STACKED on the GOALS by field attendants at the earliest safe opportunity after the end of the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. Once the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD ends, all VISION TETRAS are treated and SCORED as regular TETRAS for the remainder of the match.

It doesn't seem to make any distinction between one or both alliances getting bonus Tetras simultaneously, anybody else wanna toss their $0.02 in?

Sorry, must be the sleepyness talking. You can fit four tetras on the bottom, not stacked. You can fit way more, didn't have enough time to try it out.

I believe that was the winner of the safety animation contest that was done a few months ago.

Question: If a tetra is on top of a goal and below it, does it count as a row?
