Re: Multiple tetras

Team Hammond (71) would typically load four tetras from the Human Player station. I don't believe I ever saw them pick up anything from the Autoload side.

Wildstang (111) had a unique telescoping double hook arrangement that scooped up tetras from both autoloaders as the robot drove by, holding one above the other. They'd easily drop both on the same goal, or could stack them on two different goals if they wanted. I once saw them get bumped as they were trying to score on a corner goal, knocking the tetra loose from their top hook. Instead of falling to the floor, it was neatly caught on the bottom hook, and then quickly scored.
