I feel it is absolutely essentially for a MCC robot to be able to participate in a tower capture. Alliance captains are not going to select 3rd robots who can't help them get those 20 points in eliminations. Keep in mind, MCC robots need to be able to distinguish themselves from others. You really don't want the way you're different than other potential picks to be that they can challenge, and you cannot. While it's not a "difficult" design challenge to fit on the batter, it requires some thought ahead of time in your frame dimensions.

Obviously, the actual design is capable, but I wish that was highlighted more.
Really, I think it's far more important to be able to do this than it is to be able to hang, which isn't really something I think an MCC robot must be able to do. Some competitive robots won't be able to hang.

That aside, this is an excellent robot and a great resource for teams who are stuck at the moment. Great job WCP!
