The difference is it's VERY hard, judging based off most robots here, to effectively add a QUICK 30 point climber to a robot designed around being primarily a shooter/intake. Any robot can easily put a ten point climber on.

I think what we'll end up seeing is teams with articulated ten point climbers that take >3 seconds to line up and climb replacing them with modifications to the "passive" style climb.
