Re: Designing a climbing mechanism for 2013... a humbling experience
To answer the OP's question, yes we do have a scheme for reaching 30 pts, both by going up the diagonal, and by climbing "hand over hand." However, we are probably not going to do either 30pt scheme, instead aiming for a 20pt scheme.

I'd have to agree that only a few teams will score 30 pts every game.

However, it doesn't have to be because they don't have a good idea, but because they don't even want to chance their robot falling from the 30 pt zone.

Our team is deciding to be safe rather than sorry, and only reach the 20pt zone.

Maybe we'll utilize the full spare parts limit after all...
