Re: 3rd level climb even possible?

Of course I believe its possible, but few teams will be able to. I see part of the challenge this year is to either sacrifice a high climb and be a good shooter, or sacrifice shooting and be a dedicated 3rd level climber.

We will not see many 30pt climbs this season. A shooter is a lot easier to build. But that is not to say that you should not consider trying to build a climber.
My team has spent awhile designing and coming up with ways to climb and we even have a design that would work for level 3. But then one of our mentors pointed out how much battery power it would take to get to the 3rd level. So we actually designed two climbers. One for a quick level one climb and a 3rd level climb if we want to take the risk.
