I disagree. i saw plenty of matches in both FLR and Alamo where the winner of the minibot race lost the match. Correction: you must have a consistent manipulator and minibot DEPLOYMENT to win. Normally if the match finished with the winning team winning the bonus, it didn't matter because they would have won anyway, even if their opponents had won the race. The teams that could get into a rhythm when scoring tubes were the ones that won because they were simply able to starve their opponents of points. and a lot of them didn't have the greatest handling manipulators, they were just consistent and well practiced with using them. The deployment system is definitely more key than the minibot, because if a fast sub-two-second minibot can't be deployed, then the slower 5 second minibot wins every time if it is deployed.

TUBE + MINIBOT DEPLOYMENT = WON MATCH
