Re: Cheesecake robot. How far is too far?

Had a third robot been out stacking, even if they had only managed to stack a few totes, I believe that would have been enough to up the average alliance score high enough that they would have won.

And we never got to see the harpoons in action
Sorry to correct but 1923 was the third robot (1114 and 148 being the first two) and they were out playing. The loss on Einstein had little to do with our (900's) cheesecaking.
