Re: 3rd level climb even possible?

Yes, it's possible to kill your battery, and designing your climbing system for a fresh battery is unwise. But it's pretty rare that robots can't still drive across the field by the end of the match. Power-wise, climbing isn't actually any worse than driving around.
