I'm going to strongly disagree with the second part of your statement. My reason is that one robot lifted a foot gives the alliance the same amount of points a row of 5 does, or 3-4 rows of three rigs give you. It is much easier to get 30 points by lifting a robot rather than placing rings. 30 points is a big deal. It can bring you from 20 to 50, and in this game thats huge. Than just think about 60 for two robots up.
I can easily see all regional winning teams to have two robots that worked well in rings and a defense bot that lifted robots.
