isn't there enough room for all four robots on the platform???

if so... then what is the need to park on top of someone elses robot?
wouldn't the idea be to NOT let the other team park their robot on the platform as well? even if all 4 robots CAN fit on the top, i'm sure someone will try to push another robot off..

by parking a robot on top of someone else's, it makes the entire robot heavier, causing a greater normal force, resulting in more friction...
if you are on another team's robot, (i'm not sure how the scoring goes there...) then u cause them to consider moving out of or staying on the platform
