tradeoffs are part of the engineering proccess. In previous years we had to calculate what motor we need for any mechanism (not only the drive train).
In this year most of the teams said, lets put cims/mini cims without even try another motors. The game this year was really easy. the task of throwing the ball isnt easy but when you have 6 cims and 4 minicims, you don't need tradeoffs in the drivetrain motors in order to get a good shooter/launcher. Most of the teams had 2/3/4 cims/mini cims in their shooter, but we could get the same result with less powerful motors with smarter mechanisms(you can find very few examples who did this, look at 254 shooter with only 2 small motors).
Some will say that more power is better but it is better only when it fits the game. Aerial assist is one of the easiest games because you only need to throw a ball, but has the highest power available for teams ever.
It doesn't make sense
