So I don't think it's fair to say if it's not a shooter it's worthless junk. In fact to assume that is just bad scouting in my opinion.
Comparing a high school track star and an Olympic sprinter would also be bad scouting. It simply isn't fair.

'Arm bots' aren't worthless junk, but it would be interesting to see some of these teams mentioned in this thread play head to head. The level of play at the Midwest regional was pretty much double (IMHO) that of any other week 1 regional. The dominant teams at MWR seemed to all be 'shooters', with the exception of 33. But... as said many times before, there will be a handful of great robots, some shooters, some with arms.

I'd pick a winning strategy over sheer force any day. It seems 148 chose the same at St. Louis, but only time will tell if it can hold.
