Can Human Players score COLORED disc during the last 30 seconds into the tower for 5 points? I'm not sure if this was already asked

As a Ultimate Frisbee and Disc Golf fan, I am very excited for this build season. The only part that worries me is the climbing...

Amazing! i think this years game will probably be the most challenging one yet!

Some aspects of this remind me of Breakaway (at least the end-game portion)... poring over the manual right now, some pretty specific rules regarding the robot. Definitely gonna be an interesting year.

Also, two shooting games in a row? Guess we're breaking the mold this year.

I personally think it was a bit soon for another hanging game... But overall, it looks fun.

So we understand that you must climb the tower sequentially and you cannot touch more than two levels at once, but would that mean it is possible to remain on level 0, touch level 1 with an apparatus, then remove it and touch level two while your robot is stil on the ground and do the same for level three before lifting off of level zero? We are unclear as to whether this counts as sequentially or not.

No. Once you remove your apparatus from level 1, you are once again touching only level 0, and so to touch level 2 would break sequential-ness. You're trying to lawyer the rule. The intent is clear, climb the tower, don't grab onto the top and pull yourself up.

I think Frisbee Frolic would have been a better name.
