118's climb was to slow, unreliable, and hard to line up from what I heard. I am pretty sure they decided to focus on trips because of how easy it was for them to speed from end to end. They can make way more points with trips than with the FCS and climb. I also do not recall them being able to dump for 20 on top. Recently they have also been jamming and playing defense which was extremely odd. Any how, I do not see them the as the "perfect robot" but more as one of the most important parts to an alliance because of the ground feed and multiple trips.
