We'll see. It is good to see that many teams plan to climb. It's also nice to see the usual 5-10% trolling another poll. An average of sub 1-second climbs from first touch to touch pad is highly unlikely with the simpler climbing mechanisms I've seen simply due to likelihood of imbalance or precision needed to line up. Yet there is at least 1 design I now of which can do it with proper motors, gearing and robot weight.
For 'B', it will be interesting to see what % of those teams are simply waiting for the best 'cheesecake' climber to be revealed so they can copy it. Or maybe the Vecro-Around-A-Hex-Shaft works so well a 5-second climb is plausible with just a modicum of patience on the field.
