The biggest help from us would be a ball feeder, so we wouldn't have to waste time crossing the field to gather more balls to score. Just shooting them across the bump to our scoring side of the field would help. At this point, I'd choose a third alliance partner who can feed balls to two scoring robots over a poor or mediocre scoring robot.

The other thing is, make sure you don't get penalties! Your drivers need to practice playing effective defense and ball herding without getting any penalties, because too many will ruin your chances for getting picked on an alliance.

My overall advice is this: if you only do one thing, but do it much better than any other robot at the competition, you'll get picked. It's as simple as that in my experience.
