Re: How will Alliance captains pick ?

I think it depends on how strong teams at the regional are. For the standard regional, I see a human player station specialist picking a landfill robot and then for their third bot a second human player station robot. If either of the robots has a container auto or can get containers from the step in tele, it's really just icing on the cake. However, that robot will need to be able to score on its own to be useful or will be on a lower alliance that needs to take the risk. For championships, a perfect alliance i see is a human player station robot, a landfill specialist that can grab to containers in auto and a recycling container/human player station specialist that can grab containers in auto. I say 2 auto container robots because I think tug of wars and races will make having two separate robots on each side getting containers more reliable than just one robot doing all four. Unless of course a single team already has two separate bots tethered together to get containers.
