I think a lot of successful alliances will only have two shooters, and there will be a niche market for robots that can catch well and pass the ball off to their teammates quickly.
yes but there WILL be matches with only one robot per alliance (happens every year)....it's a known fact....if you want to seed high, build a robot that can score in the high goal but can still assist if needed.
