In my opinion, ball manipulators are sort of the underdogs for the elimination rounds. They have to develop a more creative strategy to win against big, torqueing, goal manipulators. I believe that effective multiple goal handler bots will have an advantage in elimination matches, but will not necessarily dominate. The whole match will all ride upon the fate of the third goal. If the ball handlers stuff it full with enough balls, then they'll win. However, if the other alliance snags it for themselves, then its an automatic win. The moral of the story is that Finals can go either way. The same is true with qualification matches. Ball manipulators do have an advantage in scoring high QPs, but goal bots aren't necessarily crippled. Goal bots can consistantly earn 90 QPs with a 2-1 goal setup. Also, a ball manipulator's goal can possibly be taken away to reverse the score. It will all depend on the alliance that utilizes their robot resources the best.
That's just my opinion though...
