THANK YOU for the compliment!!
WHY tall? Well we gave you a hint at the middle and end of the video as to what we're up to... though not yet guaranteed to pay off... but here's a hint, what is better to achieve at the end of a match... an additional 15 points or within the _same_ time frame 20 points? Or maybe a stretch-goal, close to impossible, 25 points instead of 15?
Even if you had a climber at the ready would you use it for 15 or keep it stowed IF you could get 20 points (and continue contributing to bringing the flag down)?
We're trying some strategy, involves alliance partners, and a non-standard approach that may or may not pay off...
