If used, the enormity of the mechanism will force us to sacrifice a lot of our disc-shooter-goal scoring ability, which some of our team is strongly against.
When you start to CAD these designs one thing becomes apparent: either you focus on the climb, or you focus on the discs. Doing both well: nearly impossible.
Personally, I really like the 50 pt climb and dump strategy.

Very few will attempt the 50 pt strategy.
