I guess you can find fault with the game, or you can find fault with how you play the game?
I really dislike comparing individual team's methodologies and styles because there are so many factors to drive teams to do what they do, im not going to even attempt to list them. What works for you, may not work for another team.

Would you disagree that being able to spend money on these types of things is a fundamental advantage a team can have? Of course spending power will always be an advantage for some teams, but there is a inflection point to me where being able to spend into a 2nd robot or a redesign gains a team a serious advantage. If there wasn't, would the teams that do it, do it?
