I agree, you will also have the one magical team that can do it all , and do it well ( we have seen 71 do it a few times)

Altho I do feel that some times might find a slight shame in playing goalie. I think that a decent box bot could go very far in this game. As we have all heard before, " Defense wins Championships"

I think all 'multi-taskers' will be organizable in the other categories if you try hard enough. they can't be equally good at everything.

As for who rules them all, we shall see.

note: first line reminds me of Monty Python.

Unless you try for all and end with no major strong point, ending up as only as average bot. But all and all I feel these will be the major classifications as well.

I also thing tall v. short bots will play a role. Some may build robots that can go through the tunnel, and other's won't.
