Which robot has a better chance of making eliminations?

The 9th best shooter in a Regional/Division, or the 9th best assister in a Regional/Division?

There will be Goalie bots on each Einstein Alliance.

A Goalie bot only needs to receive the ball from the Human Player, then pass it to start the cycle. Then defend the goals and increase cycle times for the opposing alliance. 1 Zone.

Passing between robots intimately (Robot Makeout) may become the standard as a free ball can be deflected away, increasing cycle times.
