Time To Climb ;)

I think that the teams that can use stored energy to climb to gain 5 more seconds at the end of the game will be the winners, because they can spend more time on the field and less time on the pyramid. Even if their strategy takes like 5-15 seconds, They would only use 0-10 seconds of their "game" time to climb the pyramid.

Final determination of climb status takes place 5 seconds after the end of teleop...not the 15 seconds your post suggests.

Thanks for catching my mistake. My mentor (who is a picture mod & CD poster child) actually caught it and texted me about my mistake!
