This year teams that might otherwise say "but we have to shoot high to be worth it" are saying "yay, passive gear mechanism" simply because of the point potential they're anticipating.
I totally agree that the balance appears much better this year than in 2013. Teams sometimes chose a dedicated climber because they thought it might be a low scoring game, and that climbing and putting their discs into the top of the pyramid would win matches. They turned out to be woefully incorrect, and ended up losing as a result. This year, it seems that both main tasks have the potential to win or lose.

I've been trying to force myself not to say that I still think 2014 had the potential to be the best robotics game ever. Sorry, I can't help it folks, I still think that.
