That is a 34+ point lead right from the beginning and coming back from that kind of impact is difficult. I noticed though that many players didn't even consider shooting as fast as I did even if there was a robot pinned in front of them. So I really see shooters as vital for the autonomous period, anytime a robot is pinned and scoring super cells because I haven't seen many robots score a super cell.

I would argue that the robot that can reliably and repeatedly win the traction battle and pin any opponent to the outpost wall would be the more valuable part of the alliance in this case.
And such dominating robots are much rarer than human sharpshooters this year...
