Karthik's 2 Golden Rules are most definitely a thing. I've quoted them below:

• Golden Rule #1: Always build within your team’s limits
• Golden Rule #2: If a team has 30 units of robot and functions have maximum of 10 units, better to have 3 functions at 10/10 instead of 5 at 6/10

These come from a presentation by Karthik about Effective FIRST Strategies, for which you can find the slide deck here. Highly recommend reading it, it is incredibly informative and pretty awesome.
