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.
The entire plan regarding our climber is to not kill ourselves over getting it working-- we figure that whether we fail miserably or succeed wildly, or anywhere in between, the community learns something, which is why we're doing Ri3D in the first place.
