Re: Which 3 robots would form the most overpowered alliance?

My suspicion is that if an RC-grabber can't get their RCs off the step in 0.25-1.0s, then there's almost no point in even trying at the 'Einstein' level of play.

Accordingly, the best alliance will need to get as many RCs as they can in the first second... 1678 is likely to come up with a super-fast approach (perhaps only 2 RCs instead of all 4, though?), but until they do, I think you need to slot a different team in for RC-grabbing.

If the fastest RC grabbers can only get 2 RCs each, then you'll really want 2 on an alliance... obviously they'd need to be highly capable at stacking and/or RC-placing during teleop too though... otherwise you'll only end up with 2-4 stacks and it will have hardly mattered that you limited the opposition to 3 RCs.
