Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

I think you need to read a little more into people's statements rather than looking for an easy answer.

It is a fairly simple mathematical equation that comes doing to points / second.

Can your climber/dumper, plus 1 average shooter and a defender, beat 2 average shooters and a defender?

Score (climber) + Score (Shooter) = Score (Shooter) + Score (Shooter).

50 (climber) + 36 (teleop shooter) + 12 (auton shooter) != 36 (teleop shooter) + 12 (auton shooter) + 36 (teleop shooter) + 12 (auton shooter)

Or,

Climbing Team = 50+36+12 = 98
Shooting Team = 36+12+36+12 = 96 , at a very very rough first estimation.

Edit: Corrected. The first approximation appears they are very close.
