Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

842 isn't going to Las Vegas. But they do have a very capable robot....they did not get a chance to do the "climb and dump" thing at the Phoenix regional, but the robot was built to do that. In addition to a 5 or 7 disc auto (again, they didn't have time to get it working for more than 3 discs yet) and 1.5 minutes of teleop picking up and shooting.

They don't have to spend any time lining up, they just drive to side of the pyramid and go up for 30 points in about 25 seconds.
