Re: Climbing Poll

Climbing is worth 10 points more than just driving onto the batter at the end. The key question is "how much is 10 points worth?" It's equivalent to a max cycle (cross a defense and shoot high goal), it's more than a low goal cycle, and it's equivalent to 2 high goals. Can I do any of those tasks in the final 20 seconds more reliably than I can climb? How about at a high level when I start experiencing diminished returns (all the defenses have been breached)? I think climbing will be the thing that separates the top pick at regionals/districts and the 4th/5th picks. It'll also be the separating factor for 3rd and 4th robots on alliances at Champs.
