So if every alliance can do that, what will set the winners above?

Last year, it was the recycling containers. Whoever got the most won, because it was a given that each alliance could make enough 6 stacks. This year, if it is a given that every alliance will breach and capture, here's what I think will set the winners apart.

1. Whoever scores the most in auto.

2. Whoever can scale

3. Whoever shoots high goals more reliably.

What do you think?
I think a 36 30-point auto is a given for playoffs (three robots crossing). At the better regionals and region championships, it'll either be high goal or scale. By Einstein (and probably MSC), I'm pretty much expecting "and".
