After watching videos of your matches, you certainly did contribute. Pushing cart or not, the bottom line is you scored enough to get a blue banner!
Teams that focus on striking will definitely get picked in ATL.

If an all-around robot is an alliance captain, I'd predict that they take the best all-around bot with their first pick followed by a pure striker in the 2nd round. I highly doubt you'll find 3 excellent all-around bots on one alliance, even at CMP, and the fact that its not imperative to have one.
