No I wasn't suggesting that actually, I was simply stating that given what has been discussed in some of the posts, i.e. hooking onto the sides of the tower firmly enough to be unable to be pushed off easily, that a bot which is clamped on firmly enough to be detach proof during competition may have a hard time detaching at the end of the game... I understand completely that it is entirely possible to climb the tower, if it wasn't they wouldn't have made it part of the game...

And it IS possible in theory, the only question is how practical will it be, and how easy to defend against this "god-bot" will it be... those sorts of questions may only be able to be answered during regionals though so I guess we'll see 'cos its pretty clear at least one team will be doing this design
