I think that in theory, a very fast (as in can go from at the feeder station at the 30 second mark to points) could be an excellent component of a winning alliance this year, but "pure dumpers" tend to just take far too long to be useful defensively.
At BAE, 3467 had basically a 30 second climb but with no dump. They could slow each team down 1 cycle and then climb for 30, making an easy net contribution of 54 (+30 / -24) to the alliance. Unfortunately, I think a lot of teams designed pure hangers with defense as an afterthought.
