Now 67 as a two stack machine...I don't think it happened as much as the season wen't on but yes they had fast grabbers. This is all opinion and we can go on for days going on about it. I just would not go as far as "extreme parity" when comparing a team that does 126 points versus a team that does 84/104 with auto.

Tell that to all the landfill teams at worlds and IRI that were picked far before robots that could make more stacks from the feeder.
In general, 2-3 landfill stacks was more valuable than 3 feeder stacks, because there were significantly more robots capable of making 2-3 feeder stacks.
In the same vein, 3 stacks from the landfill was a much more difficult feat to accomplish (especially with limited visibility from stacks being placed and noodle throwing), so difficult that even your IRI championship alliance captains rarely cleared the landfill during eliminations.
Anyway, they're all very, very good teams. 126 points from the feeder vs. 84 from the landfill is extreme parity, and other attributes (can grabbers, capping ability, ability to use rightside-up and step can for stacks) would also factor in. There were a ton of good teams, though, and I think in any given match, many of them could outscore each other.
