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

Just a note 4911 had a fairly fast 2 rc grabber at champs that nearly got their alliance into finals. They were a 3rd pick due to some unlucky qualification match pairings. They only got to play one elimination match, but beat the other robot to the cans and got both.
My ideal alliance would be 4488, 3663, and 2471. I picked this alliance to maximize scoring, and consistency. 3663 and 4488 tied in PNW for the farthest playing team in worlds this year as division finalists. Both are very consistent, and both have can grabbers. 2471 has a 2 can grabber that is also fast. 4488 would put up three stacks of 6 capped and noodled. (They could start by grabbing a rc in the middle or by the right feeder station depending on the alliance being played...) 3663 would take the left station and one rc from in front of it, creating two stacks one capped and noodled and one not. 2471 would place on more can for 4488 to use and then make one stack of their own, cap it, then cap 3663 second stack. The remaining rc (if in possession) would be put on the highest stack remaining. Once 3663 is done with the second stack they can go and do a 4-6 high stack from the landfill.
