However, one noticeable trend is that a lot of the powerhouses seem to be choosing to make climbers.

I think that's the beauty of how diverse this game is, there's not going to be one dominant design, the best alliances are going to have a combination of robots playing specific roles to succeed. As much fun as building a turreted shooter with vision tracking would be, it doesn't play to our team's strengths, where focusing on fast cycling/breaching does.

That's not to say we can't shoot high, we will probably average close to 1 high goal scored per match.
