It sure is appealing to teams who aren't confident in a high goal shooter. I'd take a reliable low goal dump truck over an un-reliable high goal shooter any day.

Oh, and 70 fuel capacity, at 5 fuel emptied per second means 14 seconds to empty the low goal and get 7 points with 7/9 of the next point scored. So, if you refilled it the moment it emptied, that means you get 8 trips in the match and a total of 62 points. Well coordinated low goal dumpers can still get an RP. And, with a good high goal shooter, they can also overwhelm the bins pretty fast too.
