I would agree. We won our regional last week, but our toughest match was against 3 robots that played defense extremely well and shut down our alleys to the goal. They just couldn't quite make up the deficit from the auto period. And I saw a regional final where a smart alliance lost to an excellent robot-led alliance only due to penalties.
Alliance cooperation is supreme this year, so be ready to subsume your individual interests to those of the alliance. That also means the top teams must figure out how to use all of their alliance members most effectively.
