Re: 3rd level climb even possible?

Yes, it is achievable right away at the start of the match, but what about at the END of the match?

After your robot has driven around the field and taken shots at the goal, how much battery power would you even have left?

Then, is it enough to get your robot at least 90", most likely more, to get the third level climbing points?

If anyone could please answer the question(s), that'd be great. Feel free to leave a comment or concern related to this topic too.
We did some math and we calculated that we can climb at a rate of 2ft per second with 2 cims driving our climber. Of course we are probably going to gear it down because we don't want it to climb that fast. If ours works, we can probably climb in roughly 10-15 seconds. Especially if you have your climbing procedure automated.
