Of course. A robot built for maximizing the chance of winning its Regional or District may be very different from one that is the perfect third robot on an Einstein alliance. Or not...depends on the game.
Realistically, there is usually at least one spot for a "individual contributor" robot that, while it can't do everything, can productively do some scoring objective well. Ex., a really efficient tote stacker or recycle bin capper is likely to do reasonably well at all levels of eliminations play given the right partners.
