Re: Defensive climbing bot??

If you have a really good idea for the climber, by all means go for it. I would think that scoring lots and lots of fuel and gears would be an easier robot, but maybe not. Something to consider with climbing is that there is no rule that I can find that says a defending robot cannot try to keep you from getting to your rope. This means that if a robot can't climb they may devote their last seconds of the match trying to keep you away from your airship. A similar strategy was able to shut down some climbers back in 2013 with a simple "pizza box" robot defending the other pyramid.
