I agree completely. In the NJ Regionals, the teams that were most valuable to their alliances were the ones that could reliably pick up a tetra (Human or Auto station, no difference) and drop it onto a goal, quickly and with stability. The ability to make a triple play (by placing a tetra on a specific goal) is far more valuable than three tetras on a goal. Grippers (like ours) that allow the tetras to swing and flop forced the drivers to waste time waiting for the swinging to stop before they could drop it, and they are vulnerable to another 'bot pushing a little, making the tetra start swinging again...
