Defensive climbing bot??

[bobby.rein]

Okay thanks for all the input. My team is choosing between two designs i came up with.

Design 1: A shooter bot that has floor pick up of fuel and a carrying capacity of 50+. Strategically we would shoot balls in boiler high goal for the entire time and never stop.

Design 2: A climbing robot with a passive gear mechanism. Auto Strategy: Put gear on the lift. Teleop Strategy: Decide between gears and defense based on opponent strengths. End Game we would climb.

Which design do you think is more likely to get us to elimination matches?
