The top row only has 6 spots. As important as the top row may be, it should be a piece of cake for your two best robots to score
3 tubes in a match. I mean, yes, if you can score on the top row and you have a tube and your partners have no tubes you don't drop it so they can pick it up, but far more often the act of scoring will take a little longer than the act of getting a tube, so you leave the good scorers additional tubes to rack up.
Remember - with a finite number of scoring locations, no single set of locations can be that important.
