3. Defense/Climb Bot- a defense bot is almost a necessity to keep other robots from blocking the FCS. The full court shooters are ineffective with a piece of pecan sitting in front of it. This bit can also be used to combat another FCS. A climb is preferable
An alliance like this is most effective if the floor pickup bot can perform a seven frisbee auto and the defensive bot has a powerful drivetrain that can keep an opposing FCS out of their feeder station. Also, like you said, the FCS MUST. BE. CONSISTENT. Finally, if we're talking about Einstein, only exceptional coaching and performance under pressure combined with a pinpoint strategy will create a sufficient alliance.
