Winning all matches is significantly harder than getting the fuel RP by yourself during a match. Remember - 40 kPa is only worth 40 points. For any chance of winning against mediocre to good opposition, your epic fuelbot will need to get within 1 rotorspin of the opposing alliance and hope it doesn't get outclimbed in the endgame. This isn't even factoring in defense. I don't think an epic fuelbot can win all of its matches, and I predict that elite teams with both gear and fuel capabilities will prioritize winning their tough matches over getting to 40 kPa. This is the main reason that I chose something less than 3.
Every year, though, some teams blow me away with designs and strategies I had never considered. Perhaps some team out there right now is laughing at me knowing that their design can get 3+ rotors, 40 kPa, and a climb. We'll see.
