You lose a couple of cycles while shooting the balls you're collecting. If you do such a strat, you can only get maybe two rotors on your own. It's better to either shoot the entire match (and be sure to hit that 40kpa) and then gear rather than pursuing a hybrid strat that may or may not get you both 2/3 rotors turning and 40kpa. Especially if one of your alliance partners can hit 6-8 gears on their own.
