But Personally I'd stick with electrically telescoping!
It's not 35 points, in reality, when you take in to account challenging, its only worth 10 points. Scaling can definitely be ignored and still have your team make it to Champs. A great example is 2013. Challenging is like a 10 point hang then, and scaling is a 30 point climb. Unless you can do it very quickly, it's not worth it, especially considering that in that time, you could be getting more crossing and high goal points. In 2013, you could outscore a 30 point climb by doing 2 cycles and a 10 point hang. In 2016, I expect that the only way a scaler will be playing on Einstein is if they have a last second climber like 67 in 2010, or if they can very quickly do it in less than 3 seconds.
