The stacker's have had two problems from the start to deal with:
1.) Bin orientation
2.) Bin picking up
While many can say that stacking can win this game, they are right. But when it comes to robot stacking, it fails miserably. Very rarely a robot can stack fast enough to defend the stack afterward and to defend their bins and stack. Plus, many stacker's are top heavy due to the height and components on the bot. This is a huge disadvantage on the ramp and on the HDPE.
Now stacking a good stack in human player mode and then defending that stack will win the game. It's all about defense. You and your alliance partner need to split up the work to defend your stacks and to attack your opponents stacks.
But even then, attacking your opponents stacks only helps you if you are loosing. If you are winning and your opponents have a stack of 5 with 10 bins in their area, and you have stack of 4 with 10 bins and you are on top of the ramp, then you get 40+25= 65, then you get 50*2= 100+65= 165 for qps. But if you knock down the stack, then you kill your qp score. Its now 15*2=30+65= 95. That's a 70 qp difference.
