Your point is dead-on.
For illustrative examples, look at MSC Octofinal 11, where canburglars 217 and 27 go head to head. Then look at MSC Finals, where 27 goes against 548.
(I am hoping for some video links on TBA soon.)
These examples show how overall speed, including quick return to full teleop capability, makes a difference in the score. All three of the robots in these examples have very consistent burglars.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
