Re: Level 3 Point Upgrade for Champs?

I think it's too early to tell. Many teams are still ironing out climbing, so it's not as common to see.

A team with 2 climber (with one that can dump) can score 80pts now. If they increase the value from 30 to 40, they are at 100 points.

Last years end game, was easier, but less valuable since points were colaborative, each robot could contribute 10 (or 13.33 points for a triple). This year each team can contribute 10 easily, or 30 with good design (and another 20 within arms reach). I think the increase this year pretty effectively offsets the higher scoring capacity of the game piece, but not enough people can climb (yet?).

An alliance of 2 decent shooters (even just for auton) that can climb, and some dumping ability, and a defender with auton and hang can rack up a whopping 144pts (two climbs, one hang, four pyramid discs, and nine auton shots, no teleop shots).

Such an alliance would not be easy to beat, without scoring a single teleop disc.
