After this climbing is the most important. If your alliance has 2 robots that can climb, but another has 3 then it will be very difficult to win.
Finally, when your in finals at a championship and both alliance can cap out all the rotors as well as have 3 robots that can climb, the winning alliance is the one that can shoot fuel.

Some things to add on to this:
1. Whether or not
your robot can shoot fuel is a very different decision than whether or not
your alliance can shoot fuel. You can recognize that fuel shooting is an aspect of the game that may be required at certain levels of play without doing it yourself necessarily.
2. At no point will a single robot score all 12 gears by itself this season. It will be quite rare for two of them to score 12 gears without some help from the 3rd (e.g. dropping a gear on the ground for them to pick up).
