We'd also like a simpler design than we have now just because we see a lot of things that can already go wrong with our current design.

Instead of reaching for the high horizantal bar, many teams opted to grab onto the vertical pole of the tower.
We've considered using this meathod this year but including an arm on both ends so the robot could 'somersault' up the pyramid.
