If that's the case, as a third alliance partner, I can see the rationale as being effective.

I wouldn't put it past 148 to do 15 laps in a match. We did 8 in a match at a local scrimmage; 148's top speed is almost twice our maximum velocity, they accelerate more than twice as fast as us, they pack all that power into a swerve drive, and they probably had more practice time. Their robot is also round so it automatically diverts itself around obstacles (or diverts obstacles around it, as the case may be). I have yet to see them in competition (via webcast or in person), but I suspect that 15 per match is not an unreasonable number for them.
