Again, you are spot on. With only 10 seconds to deploy the Minibot and get it to climb the pole..... Every millisecond you shave off the climb rate, the better chance you have. Deployment has to be perfect. No slippage can be tolerated in the drive. It all has to be done right if you intend to grab the 30 points!

Think about dragsters. Getting off the line is just as important as how fast you go down the track. It's all about "elapsed time".
