Don't for get about the 3rd and 4th robot. There will be cheesecake all over the championship.

I could see top tier teams bringing a spare set of <.25 second whips that easily bolt on a kitbot, and those alliances intentionally picking 3rd rounders with almost no functionality just to modify. They don't even need to play in most matches, just the ones where all 4 cans are contested. If an alliance can consistently make 5 - 6 stacks with cans + noodles they make it to Einstein.

Winning the big show it will be more important to get the center cans, just to deprive the other alliance of scoring potential, but you won't need all the cans advance.
