And perhaps I am way over-estimating our abilities, as well as those of the teams that are attending our two regionals. I really hope that it's as easy as 3 rotors and 2 climbs. I don't think it will be that way though.

Go back and look at the data from other years, 5-6 gears is going to be elite level of play. Look at 2013 as a great example of what this game is going to be like. A cycle in Ultimate Ascent is going to be roughly equivalent of a cycle in Steamworks. I'd actually say that a cycle in Steamworks is going to be a few seconds slower as the peg is a farther drive than most team had to go to shoot frisbees in 2013. Not to mention the field vision is WAY more blocked than in 2013 as you could see through the pyramid and you can't see through the airship.
Grabbing the rope is going to be harder than people have been practicing. Teams are going to struggle the entire 30 seconds allowed and still not start their climb.
