I'm predicting that there will be less than 10 teams capable of placing 5-6 gears per regional. These teams are definitely going to pick each other, and any robots that can't also place gears and deal with/dish out defense just won't be picked. The 100 point bonus from all rotors turning is way too huge to not have a few extra "insurance" gears in case things go pear shaped. Climbing, unlike last year, is pretty much a must for a first pick. I can see (good) climbers being in short supply after the first round of selections, so I think having a triple climb in district and regional levels is going to be rare and powerful.

I've deliberately left out fuel from the above, and that's because I think most robots will just ignore it entirely in favor of gears during eliminations. People seem to be seriously under estimating the difficulty of getting 12 gears on the airship.
