Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
I thought what would be really neat is if a team got a running start at the bottommost rung, snagged it with a hook, then used their forward momentum to swing the robot all the way around to inverted to catch a hook on the next rung, release the first hook, and continue rotation until the robot is again upright and hanging from the first hook - sort of like one of those toys that gracefully tumble down a window in reverse. Running the numbers, you'd only have to be going about 13 mph to pull it off (assuming 100% efficiency), and it would look so totally awesome. Plus, way under 15 seconds.
