Re: Extendable Arm/Hanger Subsystem? What works best?

The climb is worth 10 points per match (margin over a challenge). It does not contribute to QP unless it's the margin of victory for a match. We've decided to skip the climb and put the effort into making all of the things we will use repeatedly a bit faster instead. YMMV.

We also plan to use the ball pickup manipulator (goes over the frame perimeter) to operate the portcullis and Cheval de Frise; the adjustments needed for these are quite minor.
