Re: Car Nack Predicts 13-3

Another reason this game might be the best^.
This assumption is counter intuitive.

Climbing for 30 points is the most difficult task of all my years in FIRST. Many low resource teams might try but the vast majority will fail. My advise to low resource teams is make a human loaded shooter. This is a brazillion times easier to do than climb for 30.
