5 in a row gets you 32 pts negating one lifted robot. One more negates the second lifted robot(both over 12 inches). So should you try to get a row of 6 or try to lift 2 bots up 12 inches?

One thing is certain this game requires very dynamic strategies that can change in at any second.
That is very true but if you have an arm bot you are also at the mercy of your alliance partners. If they have bad ramps or no ramps at all then your team is in trouble.
Also I don't think that many alliances are going to be able to get a row of 5 or 6 with out it being screwed up by a spoiler. So I don't think that a long rows will be a big problem
