Re: Rethinking the Low bar
If you can cross it, the low bar is the easiest route to the secret passage. So yes, we would do it again, knowing what we learned at our first event.
Getting boulders quickly and shooting them accurately is the key to high scores. In Week 2, we were able to seed high and win by running about six scoring cycles (crossing plus boulder shot) per match; we think the competitive number of cycles will keep getting higher.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
