We debated the ability of just gears because they give a lot of points. But in order to get a Ranking Point, assuming you are the only robot placing gears, you need to make about 12 shuttle runs between the feeder and the airship. In previous years and games, some of the best teams were only able to make 7 or 8 runs across the field. We decided that is was seemingly impossible to get a Ranking Point by yourself. Just my thoughts.
