Right Feeder: 948. yes, 955 can pump out more stacks. but this alliance doesnt need that. with 3 cans used by 4488 and 1 for 4911, to optimize point values, having the 3 point auto makes more sense- 92 points for two noodled stacks of 5 and an auto stack, compared to 84 points for 2 stacks of 6.
with all 3 cans that they go for burgled, this alliance could score 272 points before noodles

I agree with your first pick, although 4488 performs much better on the right feeder for obvious reasons.
I don't agree with your landfill pick for 2 reasons, the first is that 4911 doesn't produce 2 capped stacks consistently, and second is that 2471 is at least 200ms faster into the cans than 4911 was. 4911 wasn't even close to Mean Machine in terms of speed. Also, 4911 was a single can grabber, whereas 2471 was a 2 can grabber.
948 will provide the auto, but little else the alliance needs. This third bot would preferably be able to play with tipped over cans, and create 2 of their own capped stacks. 948 doesn't do tipped over bins and rarely (ever?) did 2 full stacks. 1983 would be my pick here. They consistently do 2 stacks, capped and noodled, provide decently quick can grabbing ability, and are extremely reliable.
Left: 1983
Mid: 2471
Right: 4488
