We aren't trying to do everything this year, changing our game plan up as our previous one wasn't working. Haven't been to states in a few years sadly. Very close every year, and with this design I think we'll make it if we can climb and dump 8/10 times.

While I think this is a pretty cool strategy, you only have 2 minutes teleop, last 30 seconds for climbing, but since you are revolved around that you'd probably have that set. 8/10 climbs would mean you are making a fresh climb every 20 seconds, giving you about a little under 10 seconds to get up the pyramid and back down, at which point you would start immediately again. Maybe i am missing something, but this seems a bit far-fetched, because you would still have to be getting frisbees between repelling and starting a new climb.
