While I'll agree that minibots were overemphasized during the alliance selection, I would not say that it was ubertubes that won the finals for 254's alliance. If I remember correctly, during that last match 1323's alliance was 1 tube away from completing a logo on top, and one team had dropped or failed to place that very tube several times. I would argue that being able to place tubes reliably in general, uber tube or normal, was what decided that match.
