The answer is all of them. The more time you spend in pushing matches the less time you're spending scoring or helping your partners score, unless you're delaying your opponent in which case there are more efficient defensivemaneuvers than direct pushing in most cases anyways. Frankly I don't get the obsession with pushing matches that people seem to have. This year we ignored "pushing match" scenarios and went for speed and maneuverability. Even though we seeded lower than the last two years at both our tournaments, I'd still say that our robot at North Star was probably the best the team has ever produced.
