Beginning of the regional, I would go for the minibot if you believe you have a chance at 1st or 2nd place in the race. It allows your drivers to get used to placing it under pressure, shows off your capabilities and is a small gamble.

After each team has played 2 or 3 matches this answer should come from scouting data. You should have at least some idea how your minibot stacks up against your opponents and that will dictate which choice to make.
