This will be awesome in qualifications, but in eliminations it makes it so you cannot pick any other inside climbing team and have them climb. GL
While this is true, I would be willing to bet that the number of frisbee shooters to dedicated climbers will be at least 3 to 1. We figured that if we found a niche that we could do consistently then we would find ourselves 2 other partners to work with come eliminations.

We leave the entire autonomous to those floor feeders without getting in the way, and stay out of the way of others scoring. I would be willing to bet that the winning teams will have one floor pickup autonomous, two good scorers and 1 climber. Otherwise you end up getting in each others way and that can lower your scoring potential.

I think the GDC purposely built a game that will award a team of specializations as opposed to 3 good shooters. What is better a football team of all good quarterbacks, or one with a good quarterback, and good offensive lineman, and good receivers?
