Of course, if you don't get everything finished, or it doesn't all work well, you're hosed for trying to take on too much...

No, he's not saying that. What he's saying is that a team with limited resources can choose to do only the pyramid + 5 pointers and be a valuable contributor to an alliance.
Let's say that is literally all that bot does - no auton, no pickup, no teleop scoring, most basic drive train possible. Just a basket for colored disks and a hanging mechanism that has ~90 seconds to climb the pyramid. If that bot works correctly, it is worth 50 points per match.
I can guarantee you that the median team OPR this year will be well below 50. It will be well below 30 for that matter. Any 30 point climber is well above the "Minimum Competitive Concept" for 2013.
