I'm willing to bet anyone who takes this strategy will end up in the middle of the pack. Why? Becuase they can outscore the teams who bite off more than they can chew (and by and large these "bite off more than they can chew teams" are veterans). I envision a lot of hurdling robots who won't be able to grab a ball well, and won't be able to guarantee a hurdle with any degree of certainty. While they will probably end up racing around the track for points, they won't be as well suited as these mini bots.
Additionally, this year assuming you get 2 hurdlers, or even a good hurdler and a good herder, I seriously the doubt the alliance selection field would be deep enough at any event save the championship to field another good ball handling robot on your alliance. Thus, a super fast controllable mini racer is looking like a pretty darn good choice for that 3rd robot.
