The drivetrain is also a huge part of this. If your drivetrain is unreliable you won't be able to excel.

Everything does matter and if the max is scored of 158, the minibots are worth 32% and 68% for scoring tubes. The best option for drive trains is mecanum because of the maneuverability and being able to move to each of the different pegs left to right with out having to turn. I think it is going to be really hard to be fast just because the robots will constantly get in the way of each other making high speeds fairly dangerous if you hit another robot that is also going full speed. Also unlike last year robots aren't competing against the same objects.
