Oh man... Thats what happens when stacking strategies come together, lol. I like the picture, though; it gets me pumped up a little for our regional.

Now comes the most important question..... Who 'won' the stack? Based on how I read the rules, it belongs to Blue, because the Red, Blue, and Red tetras at the very top are not really stacked.

ooooo this is exciting to see... i can't wait for next week anymore...not bad at all....it's gonna be so much fun this year

I would say 12 points for blue, 12 points for red, and BLUE owns the goal.

FANTASTIC PICTURE !!

Unless....Blue descored Red than Red owns the goal and Blue received a 10 point penalty.

at first, thats what i thought was happening; but the more i look at it, the more i think that the tetra that 229 is holding is pushing the capped red tetra off. anyone know what the final call was? and is there any video of this match?

[HaWkeYe15]

That's an awsome stack. Good luck in your competitions everyone!

[Dorienne]

Wow, I so wish I knew what happened here! That's so cool...

I feel like Conor down there...I WANT MY REGIONAL! PRONTO DUDE. ='(

But at any rate..how many ARMS are on that thing?! I got confused looking at that picture. Jeez.

Descoring doesn't have a point penalty, just the value of the descored tetra(s) and ownership of the goal.

Unintentional descoring has no penalty. It happened (and we did it a few times) at BAE today. When a team is trying to stack a tetra, it might pull away too soon and pull a tetra off with it, in that case there is no penalty. If the team went and pulled it off the goal, there would be a penalty.

Heh, that happened when we went up against the team we collaborated with on design, so we were pretty evenly matched. Our bot is the one with the yellow and white PVC in the front there, holding the blue tetra. We lost that match, but I think we were making some sort of point about how high we could go
