Right-o. We *plan* on climbing -- building on our success in 2010 (but with lessons learned... evil set screws will not be our bane this year!) -- to 30 points and then dumping in four colored disks... And if it doesn't work, we'll have wasted an enormous amount of effort, energy, and money while settling for much less.

Which is why we have a shooter but no floor pickup. We figured out pretty quickly that we couldn't do it all, so we shot for three tasks:

Drive.
Shoot.
Climb to 30.

Our top priority in designing a climbing mechanism is to maintain stable contact with the pyramid at all times, so in case of a power failure or some such we just freeze in place and nothing... unduly exciting and gravity-related occurs.
