hurdler or herder?

[XXShadowXX]

First definations:
Hurdler; bot who's primary purpose is to move the track ball over the over pass for points
herder; bot who's primary purpose is to move it self and a ball around the course for points


pro's and con's
hurdler; can score many points in tele
can score only 8 in hybird
is risky if oppent prevents you from gaining ball
slow
top heavy (?)
very complicated programing for hybrid
herder: can score a theorical 16 points in hybrid
can score a theorical 12 points in tele
is a defensive bot
considered low tech
must steer around oppents slowing it down
less complicated hybrid


basically our team a comprehensive designs of both, but I'm trying to get a few other pro's and con's on that i've missed. please post them, because I would like to see if their is a clear cut edge to either.

As far as i can see is risk is reward, a hurdler is risky, but has a high payoff.
Herder is simple but has a fairly steady pay off.
