I would be surprised if there is reliable 30 point climber all season long that is not at least a regional semifinalist. At most regionals such a robot is probably at least a finalist. Sames goes for a reliable 30 second climb with a frisbee dump, except you shift it up to regional finalist and winner. In my opinion that puts them far above "okay-ish" and "acceptable".

Consider how big of a swing a minibot was in 2011, and then realize that it takes 2 teleop scores in 2013 to equal 1 in 2011. (I realize shooting discs & placing tubes are not equally as hard, but the average alliance shot 2 balls in the middle goal in 2012...)

As always, I would love to be wrong.
