I think that'll be a pretty common idea, yeah. Don't kill yourselves getting the cam cleat working though. If you can lift the whole way without it, your lift is good enough, since scoring is at the instant of T=0. If you've had the touchpad triggered for >1s before T=0, then you're good.
The cam cleat would save some battery since it'd hold you in place passively, and it'd give you a 1s margin, since triggering the pad at T=0 and maintaining for 1s also scores. But staying up there after T=0 definitely isn't a requirement this year.
