I think I have to go against this one... 9 foot falls are a huge draw for a crowd (think NASCAR). Nothing could make the entire audience come together like a robot taking a dive this year. Even more so when that robot actually showed up to their next match and performed. There was nothing in the manual that said you had to climb, and those that chose to take the games name for what it was and climb were well aware of the risk involved.
After climbing the pyramid 20+ times in competition, we only fell once. That time was completely due to bad coaching on my part. A lot comes down to what you build and how you build it. Climbing itself wasn't hard to do, designing a fail safe method of climbing was the tough part.
