(not that we'll see many triple climbs anyway...).

I think the wedge is a dead end for helping robots climb, myself, but a helper robot could be just a giant box with a flat front and a strong climbing mechanism that would support another robot from behind. Or, and this would be more difficult to implement because it would require more planning, a robot that was incredibly good at climbing and could pull another robot up from behind.
The triple climb could go a number of ways. Three robots on three different corners/planes at the third level means 90 points(!)
Even three robots on the same plane/corner could be 60 points, which means it's worth considering creating a really strong climber that can bring one or two other robots with it.
