I'm proud of their accomplishment.

After surviving the caterpillar drive project, I can't help feeling the GDC is evil. They created the pyramid climb thing knowing full well that teams like us could not resist the challenge and would jump at it. They knew the pain suffering climbing the pyramid would bring to teams. Well done GDC, well done, You got us good.
It may not have been an economic design success, but in addition to what your students learned from it, with the excellent documentation you've collectively produced, I'll be using this as an example of what's possible to inspire my team for next season.

Awesome use of the GoPro! With that positioning, you had a way to see what had gone wrong on climbs so you knew what to fix on a part you'd never be able to see properly from driving position or the stands.
