Re: optimal alliance?

Here is my dream alliance at the moment:
-A tall full-court shooter that may or may not be able to floor load and may or may not be able to hang
-A robot with high point potential from autonomous, floor loading, net points lost to opponents by being a wall and/or hanging and dumping such that it doesn't interfere with the activities of the full-court shooter
-The next-best robot based on point potential from autonomous, floor loading, net points lost to opponents by being a wall and/or hanging and dumping such that it doesn't interfere with the activities of the first two robots.

Point potential for being a wall robot will vary depending on the robots at a given regional/how tall an opposing full-court shooter is. If the full-court shooter is playing against a wall robot, one of the other two robots might need to play as a "spacer" or "protector" between the full-court shooter and the opposing robot.
