Last year it was definitely easier, but not as easy as this year. The reason this year got even easier is because the robot needs to have a lot of open space if you want to store the ball.
Besides climbers, floor pickups could also get pretty heavy. Not so much because of the pickup mechanism, but all of the work to get those frisbees to your shooter. I believe that 118 was on the edge even after they removed the climber, and they were under 30in tall.
