Re: Abilities of the top teams at a regional?

I Know this is a little off topic, but it's highly related. My team, like many, wants to be a powerful offensive bot and choose our alliance at our first district competition. So I've been speculating on what I think the best offensive powerhouses will be able to do.
I think it can be generalized into two factors:
1. The ability to maximize point output and work done for the the alliance by there partners.(Plays well with others)
2. The ability to score well for themselves in case of bad luck.

I think that most of the attributes that will help the best teams accomplish those things will be summarized by one scouting data point. Their autonomous.
In other words, I think there will be a strong correlation between offensive abilities, and autonomous score.

Curious what other people think of this idea.
