They can climb for 10 like the best of them, but usually don't because they can score more with discs.

2175 The Fighting Calculators - 5-disk auto, guaranteed 4-cycles, can drive circles around defenders, then climb for 10.

2512 Daredevils - FCS to rival even 2169, consistent cycler, ingenious ground pickup, 10-point hang. They've got it all

Honorable mentions:
3018 Nordic Storm - Creativity award at Champs for their 50-point climb/dump.

2705 WE ROBOT - 18 in autonomous, 2 cycles, then a 3rd level climb in every match they played. They surely would have advanced further in every competition (Lake Superior, 10K Lakes, MSHSL State Championship) if they wouldn't have had to play us . Definitely one of my favorite robots to watch.
You are too modest. We of course mustn't forget 2052, with a dead simple machine and a deadly combination of speed and flexibility. You guys easily outcycled us any day, and your flexibility to shoot full court when open really killed by the state championship. And a solid, buzzer beating 10pt hang to boot.
