Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

To me, it seems like robots who just climb and dump aren't enough to win. They also need a 3 disc auto and they need to be able to do some pyramid runs or full court shots. From what I can see, a robot that shot 3 in auto, drove to the feeder station, made some full court shots for 1 minute (if they were defended, they could do pyramid runs), then climbed/dumped for 1 minute would dominate any competition that I've seen so far. Also, it doesn't need a floor pickup. The problem is that a maneuverable, strong, good shooting, and good climbing robot that can win pushing matches is an extremely difficult thing to build.
