I think the biggest dependency would be more on allignment method, as proven last year. Many robots that pushed up against the lower bar of the pyramid had nearly 100% accuracy on the first shot. With that accuracy level. It was too costly to adjust. The best method was for them to machine gun their full load of Frisbees into the goal as fast as possible so you could go back for as many more as possible.

They had hard allignment points that were easily determined.

My second thought is that access to the practice ranges was critical. This is due to object aging / wear (and launcher component aging / wear). The more used, the less accurate. But if you get to make adjustments on the range, you can come up with a new constant. At home you pre-age loads of objects. On the tournament field, you practice from the appropriate load. Again adjustment on the game field may not be necessary.
