For now all we have is scattered pictures and early scrimage reports to determine the character of this years competition. The majority of stackers who have posted pics so far are of 2 types. Low rideing arms and tall internal stackers. They both have noticeable flaws that have emerged in scrimages. Many stackers rely on boxes being in a certain orientation. Those who have arms are slow at stacking. If the Kats, or any good ramp-dom, knocks down the wall the result would be 37 boxes scattered boxes every which way and 2 bots somewhere in the jumble. Its important to know this will happen and modify strategies to deal with it. For me it means rethinking the idea that a ramp-dom needed a good, low-riding stacker to gaurantee a win.
