I think that what he meant was that you should bring in a roller claw within the withholding allowance (that rule which allows teams to bring in fabricated parts if you didn't know) to replace whatever you might have for a manipulator.

At least, that is my interpretation.

But anyway, what I've been seeing in the stream is that there is no part of the match that is overwhelmingly important. If you have a great minibot, that will make up for a sub-par manipulator or just lack a manipulator anyway. Otherwise, having a great manipulator can do the opposite, making up for not having a minibot in the first place (although the attempt to have one should occur anyway).
