Re: Wheelless Robot?

Cool idea... if the robot could climb to the top, deposit four coloured discs into the five point goal, and then hoist another robot into the 30 point zone, you might have something there.

Let's see.... that would be 30+20+30=80 points.

On the other hand, looking at the "robot in three days" machine scoring into the 3 point goal, it might be easier to:

Score 3 discs in the high goal during auto, return and load with four discs, scoring 3 of them into the high goal each trip, completing three such trips, and then complete a ten point climb.

18+27+10= 55 points.

So it looks good for the stationary climber... if they can somehow hoist another, non-climbing, machine into the 30 point zone. Otherwise, I'm not sure the math supports the strategy.
