I would strongly argue that these goals are not all the same.

To qualify #1: Deadly accurate shooter with 10 point hang and fast floor pickup
To get picked: 30 point climb and dumping (shouldn't be underestimated, but I imagine alliances 6-8 will rely on climbing like they did balancing last year)
To win a regional: Robot as described to rank #1, a manual loading shooter or feeder, and a climb and dumper
-To win championships: 1 robot as described to rank #1, a decent shooter with 30 point climb ability, and a climber with dumping ability
-Depending on ability: For rookie teams, create a robot that can get frisbees loaded into you and then disperse them with an identical slot on the other side, fast load and shoot combo to get picked, then 10 point hang. For mediocre teams it's going to be a decision between climbing and shooting, but pick one and go after it. Finally for the elites of the world, if you can climb 3 levels in less than 20 seconds and still have a good shooter, which I believe at least someone will do, I will just sit there is awe.
