I think low bots fall into all categories and many who build them will be able to do all the defenses and still score goals and even scale . I is seemingly the easiest way to build a scoring kit bot for rookies, I'm pretty sure a majority of older team low bots will be very capable beyond the low bar given.

Remember all low bots can open the doors from behind too. So low gives you ability to destroy 1 and aid others on another defense every match.

In the end the poll results show an unwillingness to give up on a guaranteed scoring play and assisting on another at the bare minimum. High only helps in defense abilities due to height. But limbo bot may transform to high.
