The way I see it, if one team can get 6 tubes up in the right spots, they are unstoppable if their lifts work. Two vertical rows of three, directly opposite each other, allows the other team to only score 96 points, and that's if they can put up -18- tubes. Now the team that has 6 tubes up, two vertical rows of three, is capable of scoring 76 points, and they only put 6 tubes up. That's three tubes per scoring robot, and if they lift bot puts one up then the other alliance's score goes way down.

With 76 points, the other alliance -has- to score 16 tubes. 16. I don't know why the teams with lifts go for wrap-arounds. Offensive defense is where it is at.

(my math might be off in some places. Correct me as needed)

Exactly! Our team figured that out too. Also, there are only a few tubes that human players can throw, the offensive team would have to get the rest from the opposite side of the field.
