You'd have to remember that your human player will have to reach up that high without touching the robot and get it onto the slide safely. Then your robot needs to have the slide angled right so it gets it on and it has to do that before the human player puts on the tetra.

So given all of that, I'd say it'd be a pretty tough thing to do. But if you can get that to work really well, then that'd be a really good device.
don't forget the possibility of the robot lifting the tetra and/or slide up higher after it's placed by the human player.
