From GLOSSARY
Quote:
SCORED: A DISC is considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S GOAL if any part of the DISC has crossed through the opening of the GOAL, is in the GOAL at the end of the MATCH, and the DISC is not in contact with any ROBOT from that ALLIANCE. Additionally, for a DISC to be considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S PYRAMID GOAL, it must correspond to the PYRAMID color.

Yes, you can use them as normal white disks, but then you miss out on the ALLIANCE PYRAMID GOAL points.

The pyramid goal has a floor to it, and therefore doesn't drop the disks out, also, the rule says the DISCs must be in the GOAL at the end of the MATCH to score.

However, doing so DOES turn your 30pt climb into a 50pt climb, provided you can put the DISCs in the PYRAMID GOAL with 100% accuracy.

I suspect we might see a return of 2056-in-2010-esque climbing devices.

Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

So we understand that you must climb the tower sequentially and you cannot touch more than two levels at once, but would that mean it is possible to remain on level 0, touch level 1 with an apparatus, then remove it and touch level two while your robot is stil on the ground and do the same for level three before lifting off of level zero? We are unclear as to whether this counts as sequentially or not.

No. Once you remove your apparatus from level 1, you are once again touching only level 0, and so to touch level 2 would break sequential-ness. You're trying to lawyer the rule. The intent is clear, climb the tower, don't grab onto the top and pull yourself up.

Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

Just realized something else too. For all the hype about Kinect playing a bigger role in 2013, I don't even see anything about the Kinect at all.

This is false actually, once the disc is scored it stays in the target, there is a layer of plexiglass that prevents it from falling through.

Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

Also, as a 2012 Field Resetter... Field Reset for this game will suck. Hard. At least frisbees don't roll like basketballs will. 130 Frisbees to sort into 6 stacks of 15, 6 stacks of 2, plus a bunch more placed on the field. Ick.

Kind of surprises me a bit, since Field Reset is a big component of the time between matches, which they've been trying to minimize.
