Gears are even worse, as the gears aren't actually what's being scored, rotors is. You have to allow time to place the gear on the lift, raise the lift, take the gear off the lift, place the gear on the airship, and spin the crank 3 times. That's going to take a few seconds at the very least. There's really very little advantage to being able to climb in <3 seconds.

I simply don't see the need to throw 800-1000W of power at your climber.
Very fair points, I hadn't really thought about the fact that there are no buzzer beaters this year. My thinking was simply less climb time meant more scoring time. I suppose there isn't a huge advantage to climbing in .5 seconds vs. climbing in 2 seconds.

I think we're going to see many robots using the same motors to power multiple subsystems both through the use of PTO's and through pure creativity. I think that'll lead to a lot of teams being able to climb very quickly, hence why I said we'll see a lot of .5 second climbs. While .5 seconds might have been an exaggeration, I still think we'll see a lot of really fast climbs.

Re: How much Power?

Drivetrain: 4 CIMs
Fuel intake: 1 Bag or MiniCIM
Fuel indexer and injector: 1 MiniCIM or CIM (we are a low goal bot)

Still designing our gear manipulator, could use 1 Bag or may be passive.
