Suddenly the bonus points don't look so promising...
Personally I think it's all in the strategy and a little luck with your alliance partners. Some matches, the bonus may make a difference; other matches, it could be that last-second spoiler. I think a bot that could score tubes well plus being able to lift both partners - that's who could dominate.
