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.

We're thinking along these lines. The GDC probably should have put more points on the line (like it should have in 2013 with the pyramid climb) if they wanted it to be more central. It is MUCH more important that you develop a reliable means of challenging the castle at the end--and that's more difficult than you might think!
