Right. It is the "end game" in terms of when points are scored, but the tiered difficulty of this year's CLIMB (along with the corresponding tiered points) makes it a very interesting strategic decision that depends on how fast, how far, and what other compromises have to be made to make the CLIMB happen.
I suspect that the "right" answer is going to be different for a lot of teams -- sure, there's one uberbot concept that can do it all, and that would be the robot to have if you could do it, but if you can't, you start to make compromises in functionality based on what you determine the optimal strategy to be.
