[FTC]: Opinion on lifting robots

[Paxorf]

Remember that there's only a 5 point bonus for each inch. So 18" would only give you 85 points after the first 30 points for one inch. And imagine how much space on a robot a lifting mechanism or ramp would take up. Plus there's only 30 seconds (End Game) to complete the lift.

I think it's more efficient to go for one inch with a simple mechanism. But hey, I wouldn't have thought teams would go 10'+ in the air last year, so who knows!
