Executed perfectly, it could have been an undefendable trusser (like 900) coupled with a smart robot with a quick passback and an undefendable finisher (like 1918). A few different alliances tried variations on the strategy including:
Archimedes 8th Seed: 51-2485-1918-781,
Archimedes 6th Seed: 4077-195-20-4265,
IRI #2 Seed (only the finish): 2056-469-1625-4039

Heck, we even tried it in a match with your team at IRI in qualifications and nearly beat a deadly alliance.
Woooooooow... I was THERE and I didn't know what that was
