Re: Is the Boiler worth it?

For all those discounting the low efficiency scoring method, remember this: after the fuel is scored, it goes to the opposing alliance. They have 3 buckets that can hold roughly 50 fuel each, meaning around 150 fuel max. After this point, they go to overflow. So, if you can move and score fuel faster than the other alliance, the fuel will be forced into returning back to your side of the field via either their loading lane or your overflow loading station.

[Edit] - that being said, I'm not saying it's the way to go, but I do think that it could potentially present a large pressure point on the opposing alliance.
