I keep on seeing people ask this question, and my only response seems to be:

Can one seriously be competitive and NOT stack more than one at a time?

Maybe I'm making a grave error by over simplifying this game... but I think the winning robots won't be tic-tac-toe experts, but rather just have the largest tetra / minute ratios.

I know the tetras are heavy. I know they need to go high really high in the air. But with a 40 pound drive chassis, you have 80 pounds to do it. This is the sort of things engineers live to do... right?

Am I crazy?
