This was definitely one of the fastest climbers I've seen in person, very impressive!
At Idaho, did you modify the climb to avoid going outside the 15" beyond the frame perimeter? I remember talking with your mentor Rob about a few ideas to ensure the hang is legal at all points of the climb. You can see what I mean around 0:24 in the video you linked, when the bot tips and grappling claw is extending beyond the 15" limit.
Congrats on the extremely strong showing at Idaho, your boulder scores were through the roof! Unfortunately, there's no match video from Idaho yet, I want to watch your performance!
