The original idea behind this strategy was to distract/annoy the opposing team by forcing them to push their way through the tetras. An individual tetra by itself wouldn't do anything, but if two or three tetras were placed next to a goal and forced against it, they could prevent a robot from easily getting to the goal.

As an added bonus, any top-heavy robots running up onto a tetra has the possibility of tipping.
