I think its just as hard.... Instead of just having raw power to pull your 120 pounds up, you have to find a way to make a manuverable bot, but one that won't tip when you really throw the center of gravity off
I agree, hanging is relatively easy compared to this. The reason is that you only had to hang once last year, and once you were hooked on the bar you were pretty much set. Now, though, you'll have to quickly stack a bunch of tetras during each match, and you can't attach to anything.
