Re: Minefield Strategy?
Think about how much of an affect several dozen containers on the (smaller) field during every match had on the robots ability to drive around the field for the 2003 Stack Attack game. Absolutely none. And in that game, I remember seeing several robots that were shorter than the containers. They would become almost invisible as they drove around in a sea of containers. But they had no problem navigating through them, and would just leave a "wake" of displaced containers behind them. The tetras are a little bit heavier, but they are just as easy to push around when resting on the carpet. I don't think that they will form any significant obstacles at all, even if all 40 of one color tetra end up on the field.
