Re: Who is the highest possible scoring alliance out there?

If you watch the way 558 did it in the video posted by our friend from 177 earlier, its not like they're shooting from far away, they're right up against the pyramid.


Likewise, we only did it in one match when we were being defended hard (as it takes longer to line up than our 3-point shots).
This is match 68 (when it was replayed due to comm issues, but that's another issue altogether):

We are only able to hold 3 discs in our robot in the "up" position, that's why we only shot three discs, but they all went in. It's very similar to 558's method, except we could ground load the discs if we wanted to.

Anyway, enough about shooting pyramid discs, that's not what this thread is about.

Highest possible scoring alliance: 1986, 254, 1114
Unless there's an outside climbing 7-disc or centerline auto i don't know about, this is as good as it gets.
In theory, all alliance station white discs, 2-30 pt climbs, a 20 pt climb, 20 points in the pyramid goal, 90 pts in auto.
I'm pretty sure this combo has already been said, so I won't re-iterate the numbers. You could easily replace 1114 with 67 and get the same number, but I personally think 1114 would do a better job.
