Being able to traverse both the bridge and the bump, as well as being able to reliably score from at least 3 places on the field is going to make you a better partner to play with, as you will not be interfering with your partners as much.

The game would not be very slow and low scoring if there were three robots on the same alliance that could only score from one place (e.g. the key). You just need a good passing game, and reliable pick-up from the ground. With this strategy, robots would not have to cross the bridge very much.
Also I have my doubts on more than a handful of robots being able to accurately score long-distance. I may be wrong, but it's the way I see it and a whole new discussion could be made out of it.
