Re: How many are going to add a scaling mechanism after week 1??

We're planning on doing a climber. We're probably going with a tape measure climber, which we have 5 weeks to build until week 6. Let's hope it works!

We're doing this because at Waterbury so few robots (only 2064 as far I saw) scaled, and it made them top choices for alliances. Also the extra 10 points over challenging is often enough to tip the balance from one alliance to another. Many games were within a 5 point range.
