As people tune in their shooters and scores start rising it might not get that big of a jump but still pretty significant.

Alternatively, a climb and dumper with autonomous and some scoring may be valuable on high scoring alliances if the other two robots can get all the feeder station discs. For example, teams like 1114, 1986, etc. already can make 5 rounds consistently, which is 20 of the discs. If the climb and dumper can get just 2 rounds, and the other robots can get 5 each, that's all the feeder station discs.
