How does this work? With the climber I assume the it's just viewing angle that changes.

Also, for the shooters, it's surprising to me that they'd have only one shooting position on the whole field. Was it just that the drivers that weren't confident that they could line up right from elsewhere? It seems like you could always just drive closer to the 2 pt. goals unless it was confusing a vision-based aiming system.

I guess this is true. I hadn't really though about this possibility since my team wasn't a cycler. By the way, I think that for most teams, if it takes long enough to climb that you're blocking things you probably shouldn't bother climbing.
