Yeah, I think this pretty much hits the nail on the head. I'm willing to bet that very few teams designed their robots to be feeders from the beginning, but many who intended to be scorers will find themselves less effective than they predicted and will rededicate themselves to being good feeders instead. This happens pretty much every year with defense; by the time alliance selection rolls around, there are dozens of teams who originally came looking to score now billing themselves as "strong defenders."
