Do the math, tetra is almost 2.5 feet high, hold it from the top, center goal is 7 feet to it's peak, add 4 to 6 inches to peak for every tetra on the stack. I have seen pictures of 8 tetras on side goals. (7 + 2.5 + 4) yes it only 14 feet, but that's still almost 7 feet over the drivers wall. It's a hard thing to miss if you want to have a bot that can put the last tetra on the center in the last few seconds. Netting is a good idea!!! How many drive teams have to get hit with tetras before this little item is added?
