I've been doing a lot of thinking and I can't decide which of these two options would be the best

Captain) Strong cycle bot with a 7 disc auto and 30pt climb

First Pick) Strong FCS with a hang

Second Pick) FCS with a hang

The advantage of this setup is that with two FCS and a cycler your opposing alliance has either the option to let you shoot like a boss or choose to block your FCS, thus reducing their scoring capabilities. With this setup even if you miss the FCS shots then your floor pickup captain can pick up the missed disc for maximum points.

Captain) Strong cycle bot with a 7 disc auto and 30pt climb

First Pick) Strong FCS with a hang

Second Pick) Strong defender with a 18pt auto and at least a 20pt climb

The advantage of this setup is that your FCS and cycler can both shoot while your defender cripples your competitors FCS. The only thing is that there are many FCS bots that can shoot around or through, 1706, a defensive robots guard.

I think a FCS is extremely important to a winning alliance, but this competition will be won by great cycling robots and climb points to a lesser extent
