Climb legality and scoring value are entirely different things. Climb legality is based on contact; scoring is based on the lowest point of your robot in space. Do you feel the manual has left this ambiguous? I can't quote it from my phone, but what would you want to see clarified?
Skiing: Ok, if that's your definition of skiing, then true (illegal). That isn't so much the way I've heard it used, but definitely agree people considering it should be made aware. Perhaps reach out to them directly?
