Perhaps human players will be so dominant that robots shooting discs will be obsolete in the last 30 seconds. Robots needs to do something.

I thought a climb that was ruled illegal in progress was worth zero points even if a legal 10 or 20 point climb was part of the proceeding sequence of events.

3.1.5.2 ... "If a CLIMB is considered unacceptable (e.g. a ROBOT has touched non-adjacent Levels or more than two (2) Levels at a time), a Referee will indicate a rejected CLIMB by turning the offending ROBOT’S PLAYER STATION LED strings yellow. The ROBOT will be ineligible for CLIMB points unless and until it begins a new CLIMB from the floor, Level 0. "

We're hoping to not need a 30 point climb in most matches. Having a robot fall from 90 inches could end a tournament or possibly even a season. Will the robot be capable of a 30 point climb? That's the dream. We're still working towards that dream.
