I absolutely agree that in these situations, knocking down a stack can be beneficial.

However, these situations are also very risky. The odds of a robot being able to quickly and easily knock down a stack without leaving the other alliance time to respond is slim. The risk of a terribly low QP score is too great.

Your scenarios are great examples of when this strategy would break down, but I strongly agree with your point that a strategy that mantains the stacks is a good idea in the majority of qualifiers.
