I think this is what the game designers were going for. Teamwork.
A superstar bot who assigns its partners to nothing but defense can only score 20 pts per cycle and with defense being played against it can probably only manage at best say 1.5 cycles per the other team's 3-assist cycle. That's a losing proposition. Ball handing and dealing with defense seem to be key. Your team was great at the inbound for the possession (high percentage and low time) and 2052 was able to receive it from you reasonably quickly and reliably as well. Our bot (when working-- ugh) simply sealed the deal on each cycle and was able to play defense on their in-bounding robot while awaiting the ball.
Before 2052 lost the ability to throw over the truss it was up to us to chase down the ball -- sometime 1:2 against the defense. Afterwards 2052 had to drive us the ball or we had to meet causing 2:1 or 2:2 odds which worked more in our favor. Interesting to think whether losing the truss throw actually helped our alliance or hurt it.
