We looked at it this way
No low bar = loss of 10pts
No climb = loss of 10pts

But there are other advantages of the low bar including easier autonomous and faster cycle times. So, we decided to forget that climber.

Key word is that.

Since it was only the Monday of week 4 we decided to R&D a new climber in a day. We came up with a telescoping PVC design that deployed a hook.

We are also in talk of making the old climber some extreme cheesecake. I cheesecake worth a couple hundred dollars.
How is the low bar worth 10pts?
