This is the obvious flashy choice and I agree that this will probably be the style alliance that wins CMP. I think that this alliance could be beaten though. Try this one:

-2 small floor pick up bots with good AUTO
-1 tall defensive bot (can extend up to 84")

Going up against an alliance like the one mentioned above, the match would look something like this. We'll say the alliance I suggested is red and the one previously mentioned is blue. I'm assuming optimal scoring.

AUTO:
-Red scores all disks on their side and on the center line --> 75 points
-Blue scores all disks on their side, but not center line ---> 63 points

TELE:
-Red's tall bot immediately goes toward Blue feeder station and stalls the Blue full court shooter from getting there for ~15 sec.
-Blue's other 2 bots try to stall any blue bots from getting to the feeder for about the same time frame.
-Blue is forced to try and break through the block to get to the protected zone while Red uses the non-protected feeder zone to get disks, go down and score them.
-The tall bot stalls Blue's full court shooting enough between preventing them from getting to the feeder zone and staying in the way of the first few shots that Red's bots score 2 quick payloads of disks.
-Blue is forced to send the climber bot down to block the tall bot, Red now is going 2 on 1 for its scoring bots.
-Blue has about 1:30 to shoot its disks, it hits about 40/45 because it runs out of time.
-Red's bots each get in about 4 cycles (on top of the one that they already did) before 30 sec. remaining since they are going 2 on 1.
-Red and Blue each score about 40 disks
-Red:195 Blue:173

FINALE:
-Red HP throws colored disks down field while 'bots score remaining 5 disks.
-Red 'bots pick up colored disks and score them in pyramid goal.
-Red tall bot continues to try and block and stall the 30 pt. climber.
-Blue full court shooter and floor pick up each do 10 pt. hang.
-Blue climber scores 30 and dumps for 20.
-Red bots all hang for 10.
-Red scored 45 disk points (15 from the white ones; 30 from the colored)
-Red scored 30 hanging points.
-Blue scored 20 disk points (colored disk dumper)
-Blue scored 50 climbing points
-Red gets a total of 75 finale points
-Blue gets a total of 70 finale points

FINAL SCORE:
RED:270
BLUE:243

Obviously this is a perfect scenario, but I think that this is realistic enough to be used.
