I think a 50 point climb robot and a very accurate shooter robot would be your primary scorers. If you have two shooting robots and no robot at the opposite end of the field that can feed the other two than they won't be able to put up too many points because they have to travel back and forth. My team was hoping to play the role of 50 point climb and feeder if we have enough time. The best alliance will have a dedicated climber, dedicated shooter, and dedicated feeder. This ensures that your feeder will have plenty of disks and can shoot often while the climbing robot scores 50. This theoretical alliance should easily clear 100 points if your climber doesn't mess up.
