Re: Will climbing systems become the ramps of 2007?

The difference between this year and 2007 is that a climbing robot can't provide bonus points for the other two bots on its alliance. In 2007 you needed one good double ramp bot and you got a bazillion points, effectively. More than one rampbot was superfluous. That's not quite the case this year. More than one 30-pt center climber is superfluous, but corner climbers always have the chance to score. And you're not depending on an alliance mate to score for you.

So I think it'll come down to gameplay and strategy for the individual team. If their climber is slow enough that they can score as many frisbees as they'd score climbing, they'll probably dump it or atleast ignore it. If they have a poor shooter or fast climber, then they'll keep the climbing system .
