This also means refs don't need to worry about what percentage of the robot's weight is supported by the rung. For example, it's almost guaranteed that a climbing robot will be touching the tower wall, and there's friction, so it could be argued that the tower (without the rung) is partly supporting the robot. With this wording, that's irrelevant (which is a good thing).

Yeah, a capture is much more valuable. But I suppose that if you know your alliance can't make the capture, and if the only way you can get any scale for your alliance is to help another robot by allowing it to climb on top, I guess you could try. Still, I can't imagine that would be a team's build strategy.
