just a few things to think about, i am not saying the strategy is an illeagal one just that the bad outwiegh the good
The bad points of this strategy don't exactly outweigh the good points, as long as you were careful about how you went about it. Maybe this year, you might pay attention to how many tetras a robot could hold.

Say a robot stacked multiple tetras at once. If each time they stacked three tetras before placing them, then why not when they have two, put one of yours on top of their stack. This way you know you won't hurt their robot, but you still get your desired outcome. Now this doesn't mean that they can't stack a fourth and don't because they are prepared for just such an event.

Overall it is a completely viable tactic which doesn't really seem ungracious.
