Interesting point... By itself it is a great strategy until the endgame hits. If you estimate that you're up by 20 points, you could easily lose because of 2 super cells and being out-maneuvered in the second half of the match.

I suppose it'd have to be a game-time decision as to whether to take the risk; on the one hand you may be able to score your entire hopper in the last 20 seconds to negate the super cells. On the other hand, teams may start pinning bots that hoard game pieces, as was seen in 2005.

Hmmmm.
