Re: What will be more important?
I believe speed is always important in every FIRST game.

2002 - Who could get to the goals the fastest?
2003 - Who could get to the stack or the ramp the fastest?
2004 - Who could hang the fastest?
2005 - Who could could score tetras the fastest?
2006 - Who could reload or shoot the fastest?

Torque is not important in all games however.

2002 - Who could hold onto their goals the best?
2003 - Who could stay on top of the ramp the best?
2004 - Umm....
2005 - Err....
2006 - Who could stay in place to shoot the best?

I can't really think of a game where a slow, strong robot won overall.

I believe, in this game, the fastest, most maneuverable robot will prevail. Being able to score where you want before the opponent has a chance to is very important. Especially since you can't take goals and you can't de-score.
