I beg to differ joseph, if both teams let both stacks stay up, they have no outcome on the actual winner, so the better teams in that match will still win, if they are the only teams that want to optimize points by not needlessly knocking down stacks, then maybe they will be too high due to scores, but as long as i see an equal or smaller stack then mine, and i have scouted the robots and feel confident in my AI routine to get more boxes than the opposing robots, i will leave their stack untouched, until something goes wrong, Yes it is wrong to say not to knock down the stacks b4 the match, but the outcome makes sense, both teams get more points, if other teams feel the need to knock down the opposing stacks to make sure they win, then their scores will not be high and they may need to be picked as an alliance... although i dont think i would ever want to leave a stack of 8 standing, that's just a litle high
