Oddly enough, I don't think I'd include 1718. While we're consistent, we're too much of a one-trick pony.

67 for their climb and dump, and whose misses feed the ground pickups. They also have a fairly solid cycle if fcs is defended. 469 for auto, and ground pickup. If 1918 can get their mechanical issues sorted, I'd end up picking them as a third. They aren't terribly consistent (yet), but their 30 point climb + 2 colored disks + 2 - 3 runs beats most good cyclers at 5-6 runs on points.

We saw it several times at MSC where teams with too many good cyclers were running out of discs. At that point, you have to fall back on climbing and auton to really bump your score upwards.
