Ok now get down to the point where you are with a team that cannot let you climb with your bumpers on
Scenario: Your in the finals at your regional of choice, you cruised through to the finals, but now the opposing alliance can easily get 2 robots off the ground 12 "...do you really sacrifice those 30 points that easily?
