Effective way to rank minibots?

[donnie99]

All you would have to do is keep track of where the minibot places, and the number of points scored, the one with the most points is usually the most beneficial, and how fast they make it to the top

This doesn't actually tell you anything other than relative score. It's analogous to looking at a team's average score to figure out if they're a good pick for your alliance. It gives you a general picture of what ballpark they are in, but it doesn't actually tell you how good they are, only that their opponents were better or worse.

I like this.

Teams with the fastest minibots, or at least those who understand their worth in the game will be prepared for deployment at least 5 seconds prior to the end game. Once the towers go live at 10 seconds they should start deployment. From there, I'd imagine the fastest minibots will reach the top at 8 seconds or so with other minibots being slower from there.
