I think we're on the same page. Like you said, the successful teams are the ones who can be imprecise and fast during their cycles and still put up lots of points. Those who didn't consider game piece control very important are having trouble finding a middle ground between speed and reliability. That's what I was getting at with my initial post: the best robots can run cycles as fast as possible because their bots are inherently precise and reliable.
