Re: Who is the highest possible scoring alliance out there?
How about the highest likely score in a real match?
Assuming you're going to achieve maximum autonomous scoring and let a FCS shoot all of your 45 white + 6 colored discs, then you have three ways to get additional points: 1) climb higher than 10, 2) pyramid shots, 3) pick up opponents' dropped discs.
1) FCS that also climbs and dumps (either 67, 148, or 1806)
2) Floor pickup bot (7 disc auto + climb)
3) Floor pickup bot (center 5 disc auto + climb)
I'd choose 148 as the FCS (tall, reliable climb, accurate FCS, harder to defend than 67 and 1806)
Remember that floor pickup is pretty crucial for the other two bots, because your FCS is going to shoot most of the discs. I want both of those robots to be capable of quickly picking up missed discs from both alliances. I'd take 2056 and 469, because their auto and floor pickup are the best. Even though you don't get the extra climbing points, I think that team could score every last one of their own discs plus a few more discs from the opponents.
This alliance could realistically score 300+ points in an actual match against good teams. You'd only need help from three circumstances, none of which is crazy: 1) No tall blocker to mess with 148, 2) 148 makes it to the feeder slot early enough to drain the disc supply, 3) no opposing center auto to mess with 469.
