I think the robots that dominate will be a combination of arm and shooter. Call it an "arm-mounted shooter", if you will. Varying angle for different shots, quick pickup and raising to fire, and higher shooter distinguish this class of robots.
They also effectively end the "arm vs. shooter" debate by having both.

I think it depends on your definition of an arm bot and a shooter bot. To me it seems that any robot that is able to 'toss' the ball into the air without reaching higher than the overpass qualifies as a shooter robot. The debates revolving around arm/shooter robots were mostly based on the fact that 'arm robots' can reach above the overpass to remove/place balls.
So, in my opinion, 1114 and 1625 were not arm bots, just shooter robots. Their intake systems are what made them perform so well.
