Re: are there a lot of 50pt dumpers/climbers?

We (3339) from Kfar Yona, Israel have a robot designed to be a 50 points dumper, although we couldnt get the chance to use it in our regional so we only climbed to the 3rd level. We will be competing at St. Louis, please check us out.
A short video of one of our perfomances:

Its rumoured that Simbot B.A. Baracus is capable of dumping for 20 after its ridiculously fast ascent of the corner, but 1114 never demonstrated this capability at GTREast this past weekend.

Re: are there a lot of 50pt dumpers/climbers?

I've seen several robots that look like they were designed to be 50pt climber/dumpers... but only a few of them actually achieve the goal. Climbing is difficult... climbing quickly even more difficult. Once teams see you get up the pyramid for 50 pts, you can bet they'll be playing some defense against you! If the slow you down while you're retrieving the colored discs so you only have 45 seconds to climb, can you still make it up there? We saw several robots at LSR that could at least climb for 30... but if they were delayed at all, they didn't make it. At least our robot can go from floor to dumping in 20 seconds! (although we plan for 30, just in case)
