135 seconds... an efficient robot (that scores points and improves stacks or top RCs) trumps a more precise one that takes longer to do same scoring task IMO

You only have to be "so precise"... more precision is a waste of time with only 135 seconds to build stacks and top them.

That being said I am encouraging our driver to pause a second or two to make sure his move is solid. Because every mistake wastes time and 135 seconds is very limited.

You watch the championships will have efficient robots as the main trait. Sure they will be precise enough.
