I also predict our robot will score 110 at best and rarely bellow 68.

What Justin is saying is that we think we can successfully climb while also being able to shoot in autonomous. The 20 pt. dump is in the early stages of prototyping. I'm really excited by the team's enthusiasm this year, but realistically I am having many sleepless nights due to the vision of Thunderbolt falling from the pyramid.
I will say that this is probably the most difficult game element that I have ever heard of in FIRST (well beating 71 in Zone Zeal isn't quite a game element). I also realize that our team has developed a design that I believe will climb well. We were able to keep our shooter on Thunderbolt, but at the cost of giving up floor pick up. I would like to wish every team a successful Season in 2013, and hopefully Team 3885 can compete in St. Lou twice this year. (with a little luck)
