Re: Slow Climbers + Fast Pyramid Shooters
Our shooter is attached directly to our climbing arm, so we can actually shoot 90° from the floor.
More to Madison's point (What time is it?), the tricky bit will be if you are a 4/5 seed and can shoot from a number of positions, but have to pick from a field of potentially limited shooters (shooters that require a certain position) and a compatible climber. Assuming there is still a 30/50 point climber left (that takes the full 2 minutes), which do you pick first? I assume the climber first, and hope for a shooter on the way back, but how can you be sure your 2nd pick is compatible with your first?
Alliance selections are going to be /very/ interesting this year.
Last year, 1st pick was a good scorer, and 2nd pick was usually a triple balance partner, D bot, or an ok scorer. This year, there are many more things to consider. It will very much be a game of shooters vs climbers for the top seeds, and it entirely depends on the overall regional's capabilities.
