I already said not all elite teams will be able to do what I laid out in that example...but they will still generate a vastly higher amount of points than the average team does. We shall find out how many 148 does this weekend. There's no reason they aren't physically capable of doing 3-4..and the 4th/5th are really irrelevant without the extra RCs (only 12 pts ea).

The latter point about perfection to build stacks is far more applicable to the average team than the elite team, which makes it more likely that the average robot will contribute even less.
