Re: Multiple tetras

Sacramento was dominated by robots that could only pick up and score one tetra at a time. The top four or five robots only handled one at a time. 1097 was first place and had no capability for more than one. 254 could probably have handled more in a stack, but they didn't. 330 can handle up to three at a time, but only does one. 56 can only handle one. Four robots pretty much dominated the qualifying rounds, and none of them handled more than one at a time. 245, the regional winner and fifth seed, only handled one per load and cap.

The moral of the story is: robots that can handle only one tetra still play well and win.
