True, but in most of these challenges it's an analog thing. Can you shoot? Well maybe you make 10% of the shots you take. Then you'd be classified as a robot that can't shoot. If you're a shooter that makes 90% of your shots that's excellent.

For a third level climb, either you make it or you don't. If you climb 90% of the time but fail 10% of the time you're still just as broken when you fall from six feet. I wouldn't risk my robot if I didn't have 99.999% safety.

Either we're going to see lots of climbing or there will be lots of robots who can't do anything this year.
