I don't know, and our bot is a stacker!
We need to debrief our drive and strategy team....I think it had to do with the shear number of boxes present out there.....it was certainly something we didn't have when we practiced....we could not find stores with more than a couple and ended up with only 10 or so boxes.
I actually think stacking has great advantages....especially given the arge number of boxes.
I think the game just seemed to be "set-up" in the first 25 seconds, and so pushing was the operating procedure from then on.
Also, I'm not sure I saw many bots go under the bar.....we can do it, but i don't think we did more than once! (we seemed to want to "fight" our way over the ramp, even if it meant wasting tons of time getting jammed up on it.)
Ah...the tale of the tape!
