Re: How many tetras can your robot stack on the center goal?
 

About 5, factoring in the "robot fetching tetra" time.

3, it was a bonus we got on the top goal, it wasn't our main aim, we just wanted to cap the rest of the goals really well, and we did that too.

We can go up 14 feet, but we only made two tetras to test with.

It's not the size, it's how you play the game. We were in a dozen or so practice bouts yesterday and I think the most tetras a 'bot scored in a single match was four. Even with a couple of bots in the practice tournament that could stack 4 or 5 high on the center, I never saw more than 2 in a real match. There was a lot more attention to getting 3-in-a-row on the short goals than in "how high can we go" matches.

In the tournaments, I'm betting if you can cap the center goal three high, you're golden. I can also see some specialists developing. We cap short goals really well, but can't win a pushing match. I think we will spend most of the game in our own end. We can cap three times in less than a minute -- and if we are the 'bot holding the tetra at the start we cap the first time in about 5 seconds. Typical winning scores were 25-30.

By the way, beware of high-centering on the tetra bases. Low clearance bots got hung up several times yesterday.
