I can see a strategy between teams where one robot would go get tetras, where another one would stack them. this way I can see many tetras all over the field.
It is going to be vital to stack more than one at once.

Think of all the time you spend in transit between goals. If you can even store more than one tetra on your robot, that saves you 10-20 seconds, or a good 20th to 10th of the game.
