This is one of the strategies the team is considering. I believe that the teams that are capable of consistently scoring all 4 colored frisbees will make up many of the top teams. I do not believe you can get away with just climbing up the pyramid though.

I think many teams will consider this strategy, due to the large amount of points available there. I think almost as many teams will rule this strategy out due to the fact that their robot would be over 60" above the ground, and could not afford it falling.
