I see your point, but I still think of it as the "end game bonus". It may not technically be end game, since robots can start climbing anytime during the match. But it seems like end game to me because the climbing points are assessed after time runs out. You don't get climbing points if your robot climbs early, goes back down to the floor, and starts/resumes playing other aspects of the game.
Either way, the climbing bonus is what makes Ultimate Ascent a great game. If it were just throwing discs, that would be fun, but not much of a challenge. IMO.
For any coaches weary of choosing human players this year because you're worried they might lose their cool mid-game, a good indicator of someones ability to keep focused is their attitude while playing video games. - BradMello [more]
