Well, arguably in every game the 'killer' robot would be the one that can do literally everything. It's just that some years those functionalities are compatible (tube hanging and minibot scoring, ball scoring and bridge balancing, etc...) whereas this year requires a true tradeoff for all teams but the very elite. Like I said, what makes this so difficult is the difficulty of estimating what your opponents will be able to do.
