I agree that we'll do fairly well if we can climb! Just, have to still figure that out. All we know right now is we want to go up the corners so we have 3 points of contact with the pyramid at all times ridding us of swinging as well as making it easy to go in sequential order.

And for some teams (like ours and it sounds like yours), there are limits to how much you can do in 6 weeks. Some teams out there will get the shooting and climbing to level three down, but for us we have to decide what combination to go with in order to be successful. The climbing and dumping is an option for us, along with a good shooter and climbing level one. With the space decrease this year it would be a huge design problem to get both done.

Yea, I love what they're doing, check out their live stream!
