Re: pic: Haven't got a clue for 'how to' climb for 30 points? Here's one

We initially thought about colored disk in the top goal but quickly ruled them out for the following reasons. First, the base of the robot only gets above the second rung. Second, you'd have to go to the feeder station to get them. Third, you have to have a way to transport and place them. An the list goes on and on. Translation, it's not worth the extra 20 points. In fact in figuring out match tactics within our strategy, there are going to be situations where a 20 point climb will be all that is needed. As many of you have pointed out, one of the most important aspects of this year's game is reliability. Why would you want to make the robot less reliable by trying for 20 more points? We want to do one thing well. We're not greedy.
