I would say that the limiting factor will be the teams themselves. I don't think that the abilities will be a problem. If 3 mediocre teams work together well I could see them putting up some good points (similar to qualifying round in Ultimate Ascent). But I think that teams will be cocky, especially in the early events and will tip recycle bins over. compete for the feeder slots, ignore coopertition. A lot can happen to get in the way of teams and I think it will show the best of the worst for a while before this game really picks up steam.
