As hard as it is to defend multiple stacks, it can be just as time consuming knocking down multiple stacks. By doing in double you keep a step ahead of the other robot. Anyway when you set up to try to defend your single precious stack, you are telling the other team to attack and knock it over. Keep quick and keep moving. It will pay off in the end. Anyway, they are just boxes whether they are scattered on the floor or if they are nicely stacked in columns. Not only will the field look prettier but the people preparing the next round will thank you for your generosity by giving them a several stacks to move onto the ramp instead of a scattered row of a failed attempt to build a monster stack. The boxes only stay stacked well when less than 4-5 and then they are a pushover. But that's just my opinion. I'll guess I'll learn in Houston.
