If so, I wonder if you'll have a problem with the rule about bumpers staying within their zone while flat on the floor... Not too much of an issue, you just have to have a very small appendage touch the pyramid before lifting.

Cool concept!

I would think that everyone needs to remember that in climbing you have to make contact with the zones... and zone 0 is the floor... You are in the act of climbing when you are at the pyramid in zone 0 That would count as contact ...


The definition of having to make contact was changed in the first week to include Zone 0 which is the floor. This was done so you couldn't reach up to zone 2 while still on the floor because you can't be contacting three zones at the same time.

i think your approach looks like a great solution ...
Good luck at the competition...
