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
how is it what Sean said, is incorrect? I believe he is implying working as able to score. Part of your argument is agreeing with him.
2 working minibots vs an alliance with none, I'll take that every time.
