When it comes down to it, every alliance will have a hanger, capper and small-baller in various combinations and mixtures. The team that can have that extra 35 to 45 seconds to exclusively eat up balls will win almost every time. Autonomous is also important for the defensive reasons Yan mentioned. I noticed this in Evanston and our team has since developed a bonus ball knocker.
