Re: Stacking bots having some trouble at sussex

Thats because we weren't able to get our drive up and running Tyler :-p, if we woulda been out there some stacking woulda been done. Stacking really wasn't done because teams had little or no practice (we could't get going, it was 1091s first time driving, etc....) Stackig will take some practice, and getting them to stay up is another issue. At Sussex most of the time was spent by all bots to try and just get bins over the ramp, and most of the time on one side or the other there was a huge jumble of bins and robots, then at the end you had the fight for the top. If you can get stacking down with practice, and have a way to defend them, I think it'll be valuable, rather than depending on your HP stacks.
