Re: Multiple tetras
I know most of you have seen the midwest regionals footage. Teams 71, 111, and 537 won and we were all multiple tetra bots. The advantage is that in the last few seconds we could all cap multiple goals thats 18pts, plus whatever rows we garunteed ourselves. Also if you stack a goal full of tetras fast enough, eventually no one can cap it because it is simply too high. Also in a few of our qualification matches, we would go to the opposite side of the field with 3 tetras and place them all on opponents goals rather quickly. THis strategy is further augmented by our design. From what i've seen we are similar to 469, but can only stack two at a time max but we can both store 4 on ourselves.
Having a fast single stacker is good, but having a fast multiple stacker bot will always be better.
