0 points will win 100% of seeding matches.

Thinking about this game within the confines of previous years will limit you.

Well, realistically, if you win over the other teams more often than they win over you, you are probably making a lot of points.
Sure, winning doesn't matter if you make points... but that's like every year (scoring points, anyways). Plus, playing for eliminations is wiser than not, depending on your goals. Can denial will be important as long as you can stack decently well.
It's not like anyone is going to design a robot to play hard defense this year... at least I hope not.

EDIT: Team 3310 (Warhawks) have a pretty effective counter to this and any other 4-can grabbers: speed. Any robot that can flip something down fast and drive backwards could screw up 1678 before their tape measures reach the cans.
