Too early to know
It's too early to know what will win this year. Why? Because no one has played this year's game yet at full speed & full contact. I remember watching the Saturday KSC feed last year and thought the scores & strategies were pretty good, but when compared to the scores & strategies at Nats, they were pretty poor. It takes time for the game, the strategies, the robots, and the drivers to mature before the winning strategy is known (if there actually is a guaranteed winning strategy which I sincerely doubt).
If we (general we, not my team) can learn a team's strategy, tendancies, strengths, and weaknesses, I'd bet that we can beat that team. Throw a good ball handler on the field and someone will take the goals or play defense on you & not let you score. Try to grab all 3 goals and someone will get one before you do or steal it after you have it. Try to capture other robots and you'll find some are too maneuverable to catch.
Strategy is key. This year's 'super-bot' will be a top notch machine paired with good scouting & strategy.
