Re: What will the winners have over the rest of us
I'm pretty sure the winning teams in this game will be able to stack tetras first and foremost really fast. I think that the team will probably be able to score the most tetras/second in the game.

Secondly, I think the teams that win good regionals and championships will be able to go at least 8 tetras high, because once you get past all the good robots that can go fast, you need to have something else over them that will allow you to keep playing after the first minute and a half when all the other robots are scoring tetras.

THe last thing that might be a characteristic of a winning team probably would be a mechanism that allows for hanging onto a tetra really good once you have it, so that once you have a tetra you can still keep scoring even with all 3 of the alliance robots playing defense on you. Either that of a long arm that can reach over robots trying to stop you.

Those are some characteristics that, even if your drivers not that good, which helps too, can win you a lot and get you pretty far in the competition. I'm pretty sure the good teams tradionally will be able to master these qualities.
