A straight shot to the top, sure, but climbing is a heck of a lot harder.

Yes I think this is going to be the largest mistake made by a lot of teams. There is really no good way to climb the pyramid. I think the 30 points are worth it if you can pull it off. I think any way you do it it's going to require some VERY sturdy and powerful mechanisms.

My team made this mistake in 2011. We underestimated how hard it was to make a minibot and delivery system. We're not planning to make the same mistake again. We're making it a priority to design a climbing mechanism that works.
