I maintain that with a fast enough climb speed, a good enough driver, and the right circumstances, a 50 point climber could have been an effective alliance partner all the way up to the Championship elimination rounds. I'll either finish that blog post or post again in this thread if I don't have time for the former.

I'm glad I'm not crazy! Everything I was looking at was telling me that if it in fact worked a 50 pt. climb and dump would have been an incredibly solid alliance partner.
I don't have my team's scouting data from last year readily available, maybe someone else does. What was the average accuracy in teleop for the 3 point goal? Or really any goal for that matter? It seems that many assertions of why a RI3D robot was better than a pure climber was that it shoots at nearly 10% accuracy. I feel that there is almost no way that this could be the case and that most cyclers were shooting at around the 50% mark. I would assume that a quick cycler shooting at 75% would be the top scorer (or in that similar tier) at most regional events and possibly at a CMP division.
