Two good gearbots on the same alliance would only need to deliver 6 gears each. Three mediocre gearbots on the same alliance would only need to deliver 4 gears each. This still seems very hard, but definitely doable if the opposing alliance for some reason or another cannot play good defense.
As in most years, defense will be minimized during qualifications and maximized during elims. Most teams want to show what they can do offensively during quals, and will only resort to defense the last couple matches of qualifications if it is apparent that their offense isn't good enough to get picked. Therefore, I believe there will be a fair number of gear ranking points early in quals.

This game will be played very differently in eliminations than it is in qualifications.
