2363/384: Although I would take 2363 just based on more driver experience this year (Chesapeake), both teams are interchangeable and highly effective at making capped six stacks.

1885/540 That's where the VA canburglars are. Although I haven't seen enough matches to truly gauge their effectiveness, I know that they made the playoffs in Carson and did well at Pittsburgh and Greater DC. They can cap 1086's stacks and clean up the cans 2363/384 doesn't use. 540 only has a one canburglar unfortunately, but we can also quickly grab cans off the step and cap stacks during tele-op as well.

You're right that the state does lack major canburglar power though. Multiple options for a powerful alliance though.
Whoops, I forgot about 1885 since i haven't seen them this year
