Interesting point Siri. Though I think that the coordination and resources spent in Robot A supporting Robot B above 30" would have been better spent by Robot A creating a solo 20-pt climber and picking a different Robot B which could do a 10-pt solo climb. With that said...

Essentially, since level 0 (the floor) is considered part of the climb now, nothing says a robot can't flop down a 1/16" thick ABS sheet (or whatever your favorite flavor of material is), have another robot drive onto it, and get 10 climb points anywhere on the field. As far as I can tell (solely from 3.1.5.2), it still fits the definition of a climb in the current form without any "interpretation". That's a creative perspective that is perfectly within the clear definition of the current rules... totally overlooked by many (like me) I bet. It's a perfectly legitimate way to 'climb' for a team who has next to no budget and is already close to the weight limit before adding a climbing device in.

I suspect that this isn't the intent and will get updated out of strategy playbooks, but who knows.
