Re: Is throwing worth it ?
Do you want to be an alliance selector or do you just want to compete in elimination matches?
Alliance selector (top 8):
You will probably need to be able to score high goal and/or truss points. There is no other realistic way to assure that your alliance has a solid shot at winning a majority of matches. If you are paired up with two plowies, it will be on you to score most/all of the points while they play defense and maybe get an assist here and there.
Compete in eliminations (top 24):
You absolutely do not need to score high goal to be selected in eliminations. Have a solid drive train, smart drivers who have practiced and a coach who has analyzed the game well, and you have a good chance of making it. Score in AUTO, have an excellent ball-control mechanism, and maybe throw on a giant net to catch balls, and you will absolutely be in the eliminations.
