I think it's more efficient to go for one inch with a simple mechanism. But hey, I wouldn't have thought teams would go 10'+ in the air last year, so who knows!

I agree. The max number of points period for a sole lifting bot is 145 and as calculated on another thread yesterday the max points are 1071 so your not gonna score enough. sure you could de-score mat rings and block opponents but you still wont score enough points and especially if its two defensive bots in a match.
