Speed does play a huge factor once eliminations hit. We were on the number 5 alliance going against the number 1 alliance. We had one minibot, they had 2. The only way we could win was to get our minibot up first and let them score 2 and 3. We also had to outscore them on tubes. We beat them. While reliability is what gets you picked. Fast minibots get you a win.
