If the team's objective is to score 4-6 gears per match the time benefits compound twice as much! Suddenly a few seconds per cycle add up to the time needed to climb, score some fuel, or perform a defensive play.
The tricky thing about this comparison is that on the surface, a few extra gears isn't worth much (see attachment).

Yet the average difference in alliance score can be (2 to 3 per match for 3rd bot) a 55% chance of getting the 4th rotor vs (4 to 6 for 3rd bot) a 97% chance of getting the 4th rotor. That is massive.
