We have been focusing on reliability and robustness because the climb and dump is such an all or nothing approach.

This year has been very exciting for us. My fellow mentor and I personally like these years where it is extremely difficult to do it all and forces specialization.

For instance during Rack and Roll we concentrated on the ramps for our robot and were very happy with that consistent 60 pts.

This is an excellent strategy. I wasn't understanding why you would go with such a complicated dumper until I read this, and now it seems brilliant. Can't wait to see all the systems in action together!
