I'm just going to post this
http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2013casj_sf1m1 to show how a good floor pick up and a good cycler combo can be used. I agree that having a routine for the drive team is important, but the major problem with great cyclers is that even a super fast robot takes about 4 seconds plus loading and shooting time to shoot four disks. The tradeoff occurs in how fast it takes a drive team to gather and shoot 4 disks from the floor compared to the cross court. The best option to score disks(w/o defense) is to shoot full court.
A good analysis of the cycler vs floor pick up option is the newton top alliance. 1986 and 1538 both had floor pick ups. It was advantageous for 1986 to cycle because they could not pick up the four disks fast enough to match it due to the random disk placement. 1538 would stay and pick up missed disks because they could beat their cycle time picking up off the floor.
