Ultimate ascent options?

Keep in mind, you can only use the six alliance color discs when scoring in the pyramid. they are worth 5 points each. If you can score all of them successfully (requires 2 trips, because you can only handle 4), then the points value is equivalent to a third level climb. That being said, if you can quickly climb the first level (all you have to do is get the bot completely off the ground), then that gives you a 10 point bonus, which may be beneficial to do in the last few seconds.

Wait, so you are telling me that we can only shoot the six coloured Frisbee at the pyramid, and everything else at the wall, can you please tell me where this is in the rules, I didn't see this.

You can shoot the colored frisbees into any goal for points. However, they are worth the most in the pyramid goals (5 points as opposed to 3 points). White discs do not score points in the pyramid goals.

Let me rephrase the sentence that was giving you confusion: "Keep in mind, you can only use only the six alliance color discs when scoring in the pyramid." (Misplaced modifiers tend to lead to ambiguity--anybody in an English class, take note.)

thank you, that definitely helps, otherwise, we would have wasted our time shooting white discs into the pyramid

You mean shooting while hanging? You would only be able to take a maximum of 4 shots, unless you climb back down, making the whole climb pointless.
