Just remember that it depends on how you play the game. We go into every qualification match wanting to take down the tower and breach. It is hard to quantify a team this year by statistics since strategies are so different. Point in case, we are high in the rankings for defense points because we knew the value and ease of the breach ranking point so we made sure to tackle the defenses during qual matches and when we had alliance members that struggled with certain defenses, we would go and cover those thus taking our shooting scores down since we were no longer shooting. The key to this year's game is creating a robot that can fill the void where you may be missing alliance members. With this year's game, the numbers may not show how great your robot is in one specific area, but if you can cover the field in a case by case scenario, the ranking points sure will. It all depends on the quality of the regional. 2056 had a lot of opportunity to shot because of the quality of their alliance partners. If you are the best shooter, like 2056, and your other alliance partners can handle the necessary defenses, that takes a large load off of you. There are a lot of really good bots who may not be in any of these rankings due to varying their strategies match by match.
