Yes, we did not succeed in stacking many times, Kristen, but at least we could.

The reason it wasn't a mistake was because we could push any robot... I just watched the video of Chesapeake again (I got it from Rog but still need to digitize it) and saw that there were many box type robots designed to push bins/knock over stacks, but we had more torque than them. So we became a pusher, but the ability to also stack was a useful other feature.

Btw, talking about box type robots and extra features, could someone from 384 explain what that T-shaped bar on Sparky was supposed to do? The only useful purpose I remember was being cocky and waving it up and down in Chesapeake

<Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam
<bovril> it collects data about the surrounding environment, then discards it and drives into walls
