Will Your Robot Be High Goaling, Scoring Gears, AND Climbing?

[Roboshant]

I think a team can feasibly achieve 2 out of the 3 tasks rather simply. (in order of simplicity)

1. Passive gear mechanism
2. Velcro (if ruled legal) or other type of drum/winch climber mechanism

The aforementioned 2 tasks could probably be manufactured and put on a robot in 1-2 weeks or less by a good amount of teams. This leaves a good amount time to develop a somewhat effective shooter. Now that time could possibly be better spent improving other function of the robot along with driver's practice. At the end of the day I think many teams find themselves with the resources to check off all three tasks, but I'm curious to see how this translates to competition.
