They need to go to feeder everytime, and that is where all the opponents are. I say: 18 points in auto(3 top, average), lets say 12 points in tele. (4 HP frisbees), 10 point hang vs. 6 points in auto, 6 points in tele. (4 HP frisbees), and 30 hang.
40 vs 42
(not counting the 4 Bonus disks)

I think there will be some elite bots that can both shoot and climb for 30, but it will be rare. We are a second year team and have pretty much ruled it out. Not even sure we could climb for 30 as our only goal. That is a big challenge even with the appropriate design, engineering and manufacturing resources. I think that defense is a wild card, but you guys have more experience at this than I. Definitely looking forward to seeing some interesting designs this year.

From a pure work / energy perspective, it should be very feasible.

Tossing out a few rough numbers:

200 lbs * 10 feet * 32 (feet / second^2) / (15 seconds * 12 volts) = 15 amps.

YMMV.
