If you go with it, good luck! I think it would be quite a sight to see something like this happening
Yea, we're focusing on climbing above all right now. This was just a quick idea I had while watching the robot in 3 days stream. I think a lot of people will have a similar idea but won't go with it because they are shooting. We aren't trying to do everything this year, changing our game plan up as our previous one wasn't working. Haven't been to states in a few years sadly. Very close every year, and with this design I think we'll make it if we can climb and dump 8/10 times.
