Re: Importance of Climbing

Points are points. Doesn't matter how they're scored.

A 50 point climber/dumper that spends the whole game doing it is more valuable than the shooter who spends the whole game (including autonomous) scoring less than 50 points.

Any time less than 2 minutes required by the climber can be used by it to block the opposing alliance. A climber that takes 45 seconds to climb can spend half the match blocking the opposing shooters. Turning a 3-frisbee-cycle opposing robot into a 2-frisbee-cycle opposing robot (costing the opposing alliance 12 points) is the same thing as the climber scoring 12 points.

Obviously a dominant shooter has the potential to outscore a climber/dumper. Seeing how the average total alliance score after the first 3 weeks is less than 50 points, it's pretty obvious that the a typical shooter is scoring much less than 30 points total per game.
