They didn't actually cap all of those tetras. The way the "How High?" competition worked, was that a team would tell the officials how high they wanted to go. So if a team wanted to try capping 15 tetras high, we would place 14 tetras on the side goal. The team would then have 30 seconds from when they loaded their tetra (they could go auto or human) to try and score it. Any drops, or descoring resulted in failed attempt. Each team was given three tries.

Team 1006 finished in 2nd place by going 13 high. It seemed like 13 was going to be the winning mark, but some ingenuity by Team 188 allowed them to take the title home by going 14 high. Overall the event was a lot of fun, and it was very exciting seeing those immense stacks.
