While yes from analyzing the game it seems like it "has" to be a whole alliance effort every single match to win. I think that there will be some bots that will be unstoppable during qualifications randomly paired matches, and then they will truly be tested by the alliances they end up with and against.

you can't state one bot can't dominate yet...

this depends on 2 conditions as seen in the past.
The dominating robot has no defense played on them and the opposing alliance just cant play offense. The fact that only 2 trackballs are available per alliance AND they have to go around the field to hurdle again, impedes a dominating robot to score as much as they can.
What makes it harder to dominate which is evident from 2007 to now is the fact that you can only carry one gamepiece at a time (so to speak). In 06, you could load up and shoot as much as you wanted. Dominating robots could kill you by scoring in the center goal for Aim High in a matter of seconds. Team 25 won many matches in stretches of just 10 seconds or less. We had lots of experience. We played against them 5 times and saw many more of their matches both at regionals and at championship. No team can win this year in a stretch of 10 seconds or less during a match, UNLESS maybe during the hybrid period.
