Re: Level 3 Point Upgrade for Champs?

The core imbalance is that a relatively trivial capability on all three alliance robots - 10pt hang following the 3-day robot example - gives the same score as the much harder and riskier challenge of climbing the pyramid.

As several posters have already said, dropping the level 1 score to 5-7pts is probably the most likely action if there is any scoring change for Championships.
