Here's what nobody is talking about.
What would an elite team really do?

My guess is that they focus on a superior articulating frame that traverses the defenses effortlessly, keeping a relatively high robot, doing all of the above with excellence.
Why?
Because they can easily choose a 2nd and/or 3rd partner that focuses solely on the low bar and the fact that there will be lots of them.

The biggest hint was on the poll that asked if teams were affected by the change in dimensions to one of the barriers.
Only the elite chose that they were screwed.
For the GREAT Low Bar Robots it should be inefficient to go across the field to the low bar.
