Intuitively, sure. However, last year's evidence doesn't really suggest the results scale like that.
In 2014, every design pursued some sort of catapult launcher. All but one used an overhead roller for accumulation. Only O-Ryon differed significantly in terms of the strategy pursued for their robot.
