However, one noticeable trend is that a lot of the powerhouses seem to be choosing to make climbers.
I mean I don't know that they're only doing low goals. If they were only doing low goals, they probably wouldn't have built a separate appendage the way they did for the collector. My bet is just that the shot wasn't tuned in time for filming, or has yet to be added.

Also, for everyone else in the thread, chill out. I know we wanna see mind-blowing stuff from every reveal video, but this is CD, and the crew on 610 worked hard to make a gorgeous machine that accomplishes quite a few game tasks. I guarantee 610 is going to be a major threat at any event they attend.

Good luck this season, Coyotes!
