Re: Plans for hanging

I think we have a design that works for 30 point climbing (we know our prototype can climb and transition between rungs, it would just be a question of CG placement), but we decided at the end of week 2 that our shooter would be the priority. The mounting for it coupled with some part lead times for that design mean we're falling back on a 10 point climb now.

I still think this poll is too high with an even split based on the difficulty of the 30 point climb. My guess is more teams will run into the same issues or that some of the climbers won't work quite as well as hoped. Time will tell.
