--answers based on peachtree--
Is there a number for how many robots fell? In 1/4th of the matches did a robot fall? More? Less? Did you get a domino effect?
umm, i'd say a robot fell every 5 matches...give or take. no domino effects though. alot of purposely pushing and a few tripping over things and a few going to quickly.

Were there any designs of robots other than your basic base and a stacking arm (such as a large blocking robot). How did these do?
a few robots had an arm but were designed to be on defense and used arm as a last resort. they did okay. i would say that the best robots were those that could stack quickly and be able to defend if need be. but during the finals, there was alot more stacking than defense. of the stacking, there were effective "flipper" robots (flipped the tetra on to the goal) and then the stereotypical arm.

How fast did the volunteers reload the loading zones?
as someone mentioned about peachtree, there were mistakes but usually they took about 2-3 seconds. it depends if they were paying attention or not. but yes, there were times where there SHOULD have been a tetra replaced and it took a few addtl seconds for that person to realize they needed to reload...
