It really came down to defense and penalties. Several matches, including the semis tiebreaker of 180-79-1649 vs 86-710-1341(orig1251) came with a difference of a lone penalty. I do know that 79's alliances were commonly getting all three robots up, but it wasn't as common as many people probably initially thought.

Pretty much, though there was also the strategy of disrupting the disruptors, which was a little more complex, but more than served its purpose.
