Re: So, do we rely on our payload specialist?
To say that you need to rely on any aspect of your drive team, including hp, is most likely a bad idea. Sickness and injury are always out there and if that happens, I really hope that doesn't happen to any team.

The best thing is to probably have a balanced team. A good robot with a good hp stands a chance to beat a great robot with a poor hp (and reverse).

That being said, a lot of second round teams might be drafted for their hp. Any thing that makes you competitive, draftable, or draft worthy is something you explote all the time.
