Re: optimal alliance?

While an all 30pt climber alliance would be an epic sight to see, the scoring potential is capped with that strategy. There are most certainly robots that will be capable of shooting frisbees and climbing for 30 points, but I doubt you'll find one that can beat a robot that sacrificed the 30pt climb for shooting.

Thus, my vision of the ultimate alliance would be:

- a great floor pickup robot with a high scoring autonomous.
- a full field shooter with a high shot rate and to feed the floor pickup robot.
- a dedicated climber/dumper that can play effective defense until it's time to climb.
