Re: Will The GDC Change Climb Points?!?

Teams design their robot around the amount of points different actions give. This calculation should be based on numbers, so adding points to one action throws off the initial decisions that teams made, favoring roar that choose to go for the third level and hurting those that didn't.

That being said, while the added points might forcer teams to make more "spectator-exciting" decisions, I don't think they will change it. That clause is just in there so that if the GDC messes up big time, they can fix it.

Maybe some more experienced FIRST-ers could tell if they ever changed the point values mid season before.
