Re: CIMs and Driving

A couple of questions here are:

- How well does your 30 pt climber work? This should be your top priority to make work as it is "guaranteed pts"
- If it does work well, then how sure are you you can make a 20 pt dumper? These mechanisms seem easy at first but I've seen lots of precision engineering go into many of them to be effective
- Do you think you can deny an opponent's alliance 20 pts by playing defense?

Then you can choose between playing defense or a dedicated climb and dumper. The goals don't seem terribly complimentary - a dumper would want to be light and a defender heavyweight.

In all cases, you should try cutting weight elsewhere. Can we see a picture of your robot so we can offer advice?
