This year was really about trade offs and was a strategists dream with so many different aspects of the game to play. Its really hard to say what the best strategy was.

I felt floor-up was highly more valuable then the colored disks... There were also face climbers who could dump.

If you had unlimited time and resources to build the ultimate robot to play ultimate ascent, I think you would end up with a corner climber. Specifically, you would get one that did a passive, after the buzzer 30-pt climb.

I looked at it more of method of climbing, than to climb or not to climb..
