My guess is robot 3 only sees the offensive side of the field during the first and last 30 seconds of a match.




Cheesecake climbers??? Are you joking!?!? Have you seen the level of complexity for cheesecake of past seasons? It's all very simply mechanisms. Climbing is the hardest aspect of this game. You can't just cheesecake that.

Also you're assuming the other alliances can't score 40+ pts in auto.




Glorious.
There will certainly be cheesecaked climbers. Maybe not to the extent of ramps last year but once champs came around we were seeing some crazy cheesecakes. I can tell you teams are already working on designs.
