Our autonomous get balls where they need to be but we generally like playing the front zone with our crab drive.
Assuming this post wasn't a tactful reminder to the crowd that you can do both...

Play what you need to do every match, and do it well. If all goes well, you seed high. If it doesn't, then you're a flexible partner. If you treat qualifications like a talent show and not a competitive match, it'll show. I'd be more impressed with doing whatever it takes to win than your ability to convince alliance partners to let you take a position repeatedly, possibly at their own expense. Play your game, it's not a bad one.
