Will climbing systems become the ramps of 2007?

On a lighter note, I know my team's happy that in our Rookie Year we built the sexiest robot in the world and got the Imagery Award at Nationals :D - Snappel328 [more]

Re: Will climbing systems become the ramps of 2007?

A huge difference between 2013 and 2007 is that a 20 or 30 point climbing mechanism that is not 100% effective and repeatable jeopardizes your entire event/season if you try to use it and it fails.

A lot of teams (including my own) will show up with 20/30 point climbers in various states of readiness, but will be VERY hesitant to use them until they need to, or until they have more time to tweak on practice/unbagging days or on the practice bot.
