I like the idea of a more consistent 233. The elevator design that they had on their bot was really brilliant if they had been able to utilize its full capabilities. I'm wondering if you really need the 50 pt. climb though if you had the elevator system.
Theoretically with the elevator you should be able to get close enough to the pyramid goal that you could probably score pretty consistently in the top of the pyramid anyways. With a good FCS you could drain the feeder station quickly enough that you could still get 1 (maybe 2) trips of alliance discs in.
With the elevator, you could also make it robust enough to be some sort of pyramid climber. Especially if you could somehow pull off a design similar to 340's where the robot adjusts its CoG to swing to the next bar.

It's also possible to just perform a 50 pt climb if with the elevator you could extend your shooter upward directly adjacent to the pyramid goal and put 4 alliance discs in.
This design is probably fanciful for a 6 week build but it would be a killer offseason bot if a team had started son enough that they could finish it. I could see it being possible since most of the concepts are already designed and tested, it is just the integration and implementation that would take time.
