The real problem is that it's impossible to know where the tetra's going to be before the match begins (the tetras are placed on the field after the robot). Now, I can imagine a few ways it could be done, but I don't think any would be particularly effective or use time wisely. That's not to say it can't happen but I consider it unlikely.
