I think the GDC struck a very good balance between "one really good robot can carry the alliance" and "all robots need to contribute something for the alliance to succeed".

One good team could breach the defenses alone. A great team might even have been able to weaken the tower alone. However, I can't think of any that could do both in the same match. However, two decent teams working together could do it without too much difficulty.

It was impossible for two teams to capture the tower without the help of the third bot, but even most struggling teams could make their way to the batter to complete the capture.

There was a lot to be done. It required teamwork, but not three superstars.
