Also, I do not think 4 rotors will be a "given" at DCMP or CMP... particularly given that there are 12 divisions across the two CMP's this year. Many regarded the capture rates from last year similarly, but the elim capture rates were:

Curie: 79.4%
Einstein: 72.2%
Carson: 71.8%
Newton: 65.6%
Hopper: 60.7%
Galileo: 56.3%
Carver: 52.94%
Tesla: 43.3%
Archimedes: 36.7%


WHAT? Curie, generally considered to be the weakest division going into worlds in 2016, had the highest capture percentage? The only conclusion I can arrive at is the community consensus was based on well known powerhouses. There was in fact a huge struggle among some VERY capable teams. The fact that Curie beat Einstein for capture% (and by a significant percentage) may imply that it can't be quantified with OPR, average score, etc. (granted Einstein is a smaller sample size).

Anyway, carry on...

Not without at least two rotors going. And polls have shown that it's about a 2:1 ratio of gear bots to fuel bots. Will fuel bots be at the top? Maybe. But gear bots will be their first and second picks.

wait, we can only carry one kind of game piece?

No, but it's more efficient to focus on one or the other.

I disagree, if you can do gears quickly, have a hopper, and can gather fuel from the floor you can then score the fuel (either high or low depending on the speed of your dumper/shooter) at a fraction of the time required for a dedicated fuel cycle.
