Yes, when we "straddle" stack, that's the way the robot was designed. There is a preset button to lift the stack to the top of the surface via a PID loop, however I remember that we didn't get the preset right on that last stack shown in the video and it lifted too high or the button was pressed a bit early, otherwise the noodle should have never gotten under the stack, it would have been pushed out of the way. The first stack in reference to the video, was stacked we call the "hard way" is not really the way our robot was designed so it's more skill of the drivers to get that stack to stick. But I understand what you are saying and that was our thought process was to get the stack bottom to mate up with the top of the scoring surface so nothing would fit inbetween, but it just didn't work out that way for us.
