Take all the time and effort you would put into a climber, and put it into practice and improvements. Drive the heck out of your bot and break stuff. It's easier to break and fix now than it will be at competition.

I like to think about it in terms of effort required per point. Climbing is hard and is only worth a net gain of 10 points. Practicing with your robot and getting as many hours as you can on it is much easier and has much more points potential.
