Again just pure opinion, but I think we will see good robots with lots of practice beat amazing robots with little practice.
I understand where you're coming from, and the amount of practice a team has determines the robot's performance, but we plan on building two robots like we have our past two seasons anyway, so we have all the time after build season to practice our drive team too. As long as I am their drive team mentor, I will always assure that both our drive teams have adequate practice to perform above the standard.

And if we don't build a second robot, well, let's just do everything to make sure two get built.
