My personal opinion is no.

A team who has a 10 point climber that will climb in 1 second (like some of the robots that just drive into the pyramid). A ten point climb is equivalent to 5 frisbees scored in the 2 point goal.

If a robot shoots from about 10 feet away..

Perhaps 5 seconds to shoot those four frisbees (and aim)? If they make all of them, +8 points.

Driving to feeder station: let's say their robot can travel @ 10 fps. They were already 10 feet down the field, so a little more than 4 seconds to get to the feeder station.

Feeding? Perhaps 4 seconds.

Another 4 seconds to drive back to their shooting position, and 5 more seconds to shoot.

We are at approximately 22 seconds to make up for that climb (and 6 extra points).

22 seconds for 16 points, or 1 second for 10? That is the question.

In my personal opinion, this isn't worth getting rid of a climber over.
