Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

Do you have a way to figure out how many robots successfully do a 50-point climb and dump? And how often? I've been to 2 regionals and have seen only one (of three that appeared to be capable) successfully accomplish the feat. The one that did couldn't shoot, so no auto score.

At the same two regionals I've seen 2 bots with successful 7-disk auto and another with 5. I've not specifically counted but I'm pretty sure I've seen over 20 bots with 3-disk autos. My point is that I suspect there aren't enough of them, and that the ones that can do 50 aren't successful anywhere close to 100% of the time.

Then factor in time. Most 30-point climbers I've seen take at least 90 seconds to climb; some slower. Even medium-speed shooters are doing 3 runs in a match (say 27 points on average. Add in 18 auto and you've basically beat that 50-point dump. Dominating bots are scoring 60 or more on their own.
